Enquiry type
Email

Further to your joint letter from SCC, SDC and WSC dated 5th October regarding the above we would like to register our interest and be kept informed of developments. I have tried to register online on the IPC website following their link but have been unable to do this.

Advice given

Thank you for your recent email.

Please be aware that Williton Parish Council falls within the definition of a relevant parish council under Schedule 1 of the Applications: Prescribed Form & Procedure Regulations 2009 for the Hinkley Point C application. This makes your parish council a statutory consultee and it is therefore already considered an ?interested party?.

As an interested party, you will receive all of the IPC?s general correspondence regarding the project; will be notified of the application?s key milestones; will have the opportunity to submit further written representations during the application?s examination and can participate in the examination hearings.

If the IPC accepts the application for examination and Williton Parish Council wishes to put forward its views on the scheme at this stage, you may still make a relevant representation via our prescribed form at the appropriate time.

Details about how and when to register will be publicised by the developer in local newspapers and via site notices near the main site, and also at the associated development sites. The IPC will also offer details about how to register and other project information on our website.

Further information on how to participate in the application process can be found in our advice notes. Advice note 8.3: Putting your case to the IPC may be of particular interest. A link to the relevant section of our website is provided below:

I trust this response is helpful. If you have any further questions, our enquiries line is also available on 0303 444 5000.
