Consent Order

With the deadline fast approaching now is the time to register your interest and have your views considered.

Following extensive consultation on their proposals for Hinkley Point C, EDF Energy submitted a Development Consent Order (DCO) application to the Infrastructure Planning Commission (IPC) on 31 October 2011.  The IPC was established on 1 October 2009 under the Planning Act 2008 to streamline the planning system for nationally significant infrastructure projects (NSIPs).

Having been accepted for examination by the IPC on 24 November 2011 there is now an opportunity for people and organisations to register their interest about EDF Energy’s application and make a representation to the Infrastructure Planning Commission.  The deadline to do so is 23 January 2012 and details are outlined here.
