Final consultation on proposals for a new twin reactor nuclear power station on the Suffolk coast will not take place until next year at the earliest. Officials at EDF Energy say they are still analysing feedback from the Stage Two consultation process for Sizewell C and have a “huge amount” of work to do before they embark on presenting final plans for the £14billion project. Community relations manager John McNamara said it was intended to hold a community forum and circulate a newsletter later in the autumn to give feedback on the last consulation, which was carried out nine months ago. The Stage Two process generated more than 1,000 responses – some of them highly complex and detailed, tackling a variety of concerns and issues connected with the proposed power plant. Mr McNamara said: “The standard of the responses was outstanding, high level and complex and we are still analysing and studying the feedback. “We will hold a community forum and put out a newsletter and visit town and parish council meetings to discuss the feedback and then we will be able to move forward, taking those responses into account, with our proposals and options.”
