Query regarding the Royal Mail's status as a statutory consultee and the process relating to making an objection to the IPC regarding the Hinkley Point C scheme.

Advice given

The Royal Mail is a prescribed consultee as defined in the Application Prescribed Forms and Procedures Regs 2009, Schedule 1. Although not named explicitly in Schedule 1 , I have received advice that Royal Mail would fall under the heading of "Relevant Statutory Undertaker".

This means that Royal Mail is automatically regarded as an interested party for the purposes of taking part in the Hinkley Point C examination, if the application is accepted. This also means that Royal Mail would not have to register a relevant representation in advance of the examination.

However, we would encourage you to do so using our online registration form, once the registration period opens, so that the Examining Authority can be made aware of any issues that Royal Mail would like to raise. This will enable the Examining Authority to take them into consideration when carrying out an initial assessment of issues in preparation for the Preliminary Meeting.
