Cllr Swallow supplied comments on behalf of the Sizewell Parishes Liaison Group in regard to the the developer's pre-application consultation for the proposed Sizewell C New Nuclear Power Station.

Advice given

Thank you for your email and attached submission on behalf of the Sizewell Parishes Liaison Group. Your correspondence will be kept on the case file.

As the application for Sizewell New Nuclear Power Station has yet to be submitted to the Planning Inspectorate, we would encourage you to continue your dialogue with EDF Energy. You may, for example, wish to forward them your current submission if they are not already aware of it. This will allow them the opportunity to respond and (if necessary) remedy to any concerns you have regarding the pre-application consultation.

You may also wish to inform your local authority about your views on the developer?s consultation. The host local authority and the neighbouring authorities will have the chance to submit a representation on the adequacy of consultation once an application has been submitted.

On a related matter, you may be interested in the recent discussion between EDF Energy, the Suffolk Councils and the Planning Inspectorate on the proposed next steps for the project during pre-application. Please see below link for a copy of this meeting note as published on our website.
