Conservative Suffolk MP Therese Coffey warns of ” large environmental impact changes”in the Sizewell C nuclear project

BBC 19th May 2021, Sizewell C: MP urges more time to hear views on nuclear plant mitigation
proposals. A former environment minister has urged the Planning
Inspectorate to consider extending this week’s hearing into the Sizewell C
nuclear power plant. Therese Coffey, Suffolk Coastal MP, wants
environmental bodies to be given more time to respond to the latest
mitigation proposals for the site.

Suffolk County Council has already told
the four-day public hearing it could not support the project as it stands.
Developer EDF has not yet responded to the comments made so far.

The MP added that while “EDF has listened” and made considerable changes to mitigate the
effects of the construction process on the local traffic system, there
remained “some large environmental impact changes” that needed to be
addressed.
