In view of the pandemic situation, the examination of Sizewell C nuclear project should be delayed

Stop Sizewell C (accessed) 2nd April 2021, We are now into the first step in the DCO process- the Preliminary Meeting
– which is taking place online (livestreamed and recorded), in two parts:
Part 1 on 23 & 24 March (completed). Part 2 on 14 April (no agenda yet).

The Planning Inspectorate is inviting new written (emailed) submissions by
end of Wednesday 7 April (Deadline B). The Scottish Power Renewables DCO
examination has just been extended by 3 months (now running until early
July).

This is in recognition of the impact of the pandemic on people’s
ability to respond, and the extensive amount of new information. Given the
“unusually large and complex application” (the words of EDF’s
counsel) and ongoing restrictions on face to face meetings, we feel a delay
to the start of the Sizewell C examination would be totally appropriate.
