EDF Energy is proposing to build a new nuclear power station next to Sizewell B in Suffolk. Its third stage of public consultation ran from 4 January to 29 March 2019.

This document sets out the Environment Agency’s general comments about the main development site and associated development sites.

This response does not represent the Environment Agency’s final view in relation to any future Development Consent Order application. It is provided without prejudice to its decisions on any applications made for environmental permits.

The Environment Agency’s final view will take account of information included in the application and relevant guidance available at that time.

EDF Energy must apply for and obtain relevant permits from the Environment Agency before Sizewell C can be constructed or operated.
