Nicola pilkington called and would like to know the casework team for Hinkley point C power station and also if the whole team are going to be available for the proposed submission date of the 01 12 2010. The date is purely proposed.

She is concerned that the case team will not be available during this period and wants re-assuring that the acceptance 28 day deadline will be adhered to.

Advice given

An IPC casework team was assembled to deal with the Hinkley Point C application when we were first notified of the project at the end of 2009. the team is made up of a case Leader, a case officer, assistant case officer, a lawyer and 2 EIA experts. Additional team members may be drafted in as and when required.

Please note that the submission date of 01/12/2010 is an indicative date provided by the applicant and is subject to change. Nevertheless, should the application be submitted during this holiday period the IPC will endeavour to ensure the allocated team members will be available or we will ensure that adequate resources are put in place enabling us to make a decision whether or not to accept the application within the statutory deadline of 28 calendar days (beginning with the day after the date of receipt).
