Dear Sir/Madam

Hinkley Point C (Nuclear Generation Company) Statutory Order 2013 made 18th March 2013: Application for a Non-Material Change in relation to the Hinkley Point C Main Development Site Regulation 7A of the Infrastructure Planning (Changes to, and Revocation of, Development Consent Orders) Regulations 2011 (the “2011 Regulations) – Consultation and Publicity Statement

I write following the submission of our application on 28 July 2020 on behalf of NNB Generation Company (HPC) Limited (“EDF”) for proposed Non-Material Changes to the Development Consent Order, in relation to the Hinkley Point C Site. This letter and its annexes constitute the consultation and publicity statement, as required by Regulation 7A of the 2011 Regulations. This statement demonstrates compliance with Regulations 6 and 7, as amended by the Infrastructure Planning (Changes to, and Revocation of, Development Consent Orders)(Amendment) Regulations 2015.

I note that on 22 July The Infrastructure Planning (Publication and Notification of Applications etc.) (Coronavirus) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 came into force, Regulation 3 inserting new provisions (Regulation 6A, 20A and 56A) into the 2011 Regulations and taking immediate effect. I can confirm that the amended provisions were taken into account, whereby EDF published the full suite of application documents on its website and sign-posted consultees to the Inspectorate’s website. It is noted that the new Regulation 6A(2)(a) removes the requirement to place hard copy documents at a deposit point, how- ever EDF chose to place the application documents at its own facility close to the application site, in order to ensure the greatest possible access for interested parties.

The address of the facility is as follows:

• EDF Energy Training Centre, Cannington Court, Church Street, Cannington Bridgwater, TA5 2HA.

EDF’s website address is as follows:

• https://www.edfenergy.com/energy/nuclear-new-build-projects/hinkley-point-c/about/non-material-change- consultation In accordance with Regulation 6 of the 2011 Regulations, I can confirm that the Notice of the Non-Material Change application has been publicised for two consecutive weeks within local newspapers circulating in the vicinity of the land. As follows:

20 March 2020

Dear Ms Libretto

The Hinkley Point C (Nuclear Generating Station) Order 2013 – S.I. 2013 No. 648 (as amended) – Non- Material Change Application

Regulation 7(3) - Written consent from Secretary of State for not consulting a person or authority

NNB Generation Company (HPC) Limited (“NNB GenCo”) is proposing to make an application for a non-material change under Schedule 6 of the Planning Act 2008 and The Infrastructure Planning (Changes to, and Revocation of, Development Consent Orders) Regulations 2011 (amended in 2015) (“the Regulations”). The proposed application will request changes to the Development Consent Order in order to effect changes to the Site Layout Plan, Parameter Plan, and Plans for individual buildings.

Under the Regulations, at the same time as making an application for a non-material change to the Secretary of State, an applicant must carry out a consultation with persons as identified in Regulation 7. Regulation 7(3) states that “the applicant need not consult a person or authority listed above if they have obtained written consent of the Secretary of State”. Regulation 7(2)(c) states that in addition to those persons listed in Regulation 7 the applicant must consult “any other person who may be directly affected by the changes proposed in the application”.

This letter notifies the Secretary of State of those persons that NNB GenCo considers should or should not be consulted as a result of the proposed non-material change under the Regulations. The rationale for treatment within the Consultee Schedule (attached) is explained in more detail below. NNB GenCo requests the following of the Secretary of State:

• Written approval that NNB GenCo should not consult those persons it has proposed should not be consulted; and • Confirmation as to whether the Secretary of State considers any other person should be consulted.

Nature of the Proposed Change

The changes proposed to the Plans will include:

• the location of buildings and structures; • the dimensions of existing buildings and structures;

• introduction of new buildings and structures; and • removal of previously approved buildings and structures.

None of the buildings which are to be proposed have been commenced. For the avoidance of doubt, the changes are solely to the Plans.

To illustrate the changes, the following plans are included with this letter:

• DCO Application Location Plan; • DCO Site Layout Plan; • Proposed Site Layout Plan; • Proposed Parameter Plan.

Table 1 below sets out the changes to the Plans, including the nature of the change and the reason for the change.

Approach to Materiality

Schedule 6 of the Planning Act 2008 makes provision for the Secretary of State to grant both material and non- material changes to a development consent order.

There is no statutory definition of “materiality” for the purposes of either the Planning Act or the Regulations. The Government’s December 2015 “Guidance on Changes to Development Consent Orders” (“DCLG Guidance”) is clear that such decisions depend on the circumstances of a specific case. However, the DCLG Guidance sets out four examples of characteristics which are likely to indicate that a change is material. Two of the examples appear relevant to EDF Energy’s consideration of materiality.

(1) Environmental Impact Assessment

The DCLG Guidance states that a proposed change might be considered material where it would result in the need for an updated Environmental Statement (ES) because there is:

• A new significant effect that was not identified in the ES for the consented project; or • A materially different significant effect (a positive or negative change) when compared to the ES for the consented project. (2) Habitats and Protected Species

The DCLG Guidance states that a proposed change to a project might be considered material if:

• The change itself is likely to result in a new significant effect on a European site or will add to the previously identified significant effects on such sites, and will therefore need a Habitats Regulations Assessment; and/or

• The change will result in the need for a licence, or a change to an existing license for a European Protected Species.

Given the nature of the change, it is considered that there will be no new or materially different significant effects in relation to either the Environmental Impact Assessment or Habitats Regulations, nor a need for any new or amended licences or consents. Neither are there any implications with regards to compulsory acquisition of land or any material effects on local communities or business. A screening assessment of all relevant EIA topics and European Sites under the Habitats Regulations will be provided within the application statement.

Given the above, and having regard to the guidance, NNB GenCo is proceeding on the basis the change is non- material.

Consultation

NNB GenCo have prepared a schedule of persons to consult, in accordance with Regulation 7. The consultee schedule is attached to this letter.

In compiling this schedule, NNB GenCo has had regard to the following:

• Those who were consulted for the DCO; • Those who were consulted for the previous similar non-material amendments (the third Non Material Change application); and • Other persons who NNB GenCo consider would be appropriate to notify of the consultation.

The attached Excel schedule is split into two sheets. One lists Statutory Consultees that NNB GenCo consider are relevant to be consulted to in order to comply with Regulation 7 and to which this request relates. The other lists non-statutory consultees whom NNB GenCo consider it appropriate to notify of the proposed change and who might want to make representations.

The list of Statutory Consultees includes all the consultees listed in s56 of the Planning Act 2008. Those Statutory Consultees NNB GenCo considers it should consult are shaded in green. Those consultees not thought appropriate or relevant to consult are shaded in pale red and a justification provided. NNB GenCo requests written consent from the Secretary of State under Regulation 7(3) that it does not need to consult those bodies shaded in pale red within the Statutory Consultee sheet.

It is not considered that any persons would be “directly affected” by the proposed change per Regulation 7(2)(c). As mentioned above persons or groups who might be interested in the proposal have been identified in the list of non- statutory consultees.

In addition, NNB GenCo requests that SoS confirms if there are any other persons it considers should be consulted.

Timing of Consultation

As mentioned above, it is required under the Regulations that the consultation is carried out upon submission of the application.

NNB GenCo intends to submit the application to BEIS, copying in the Planning Inspectorate, in the final week of May 2020. Should the programme change you will be kept informed.

Yours sincerely

4 June 2020

Dear Mr Goodchild,

The Hinkley Point C (Nuclear Generating Station) Order 2013 – S.I. 2013 No. 648 (as amended) – Proposed Non-Material Change Application

Regulation 7(3) - Written consent from Secretary of State for not consulting a person or authority

Thank you for your letter of 22 April 2020 and attachment which set out proposals for changes to the consented Hinkley Point C (Nuclear Generating Station) Order 2013 (as amended) (“the Hinkley Point C Order”). The letter also requests the Secretary of State’s written consent under regulation 7(3) of the Infrastructure Planning (Changes to, and Revocation of, Development Consent Orders) Regulations 2011 (as amended) (“the 2011 Regulations”) to not consult those persons listed in the schedule titled ‘NMC-4 DCO Consultee List to SoS 20.03.20’ about the proposals, as it is considered by NNB Generation Company (HPC) Limited that they will not be directly affected by the proposed changes.

The Secretary of State has considered the request under regulation 7(3). He agrees with the proposal that NNB Generation Company (HPC) Limited does not need to consult directly with those bodies shaded in pale red within the Consultee schedule. The Secretary of State agrees that those that need not be consulted are not directly affected, either because the changes proposed will not affect their interests or because their interests relate to a different part of the scheme.

Accordingly, the Secretary of State gives written consent, to the extent set out above, under regulation 7(3) of the Infrastructure Planning (Changes to, and Revocation of, Development Consent Orders) Regulations 2011.

In taking this decision the Secretary of State notes that while those persons in the schedule titled ‘NMC-4 DCO Consultee List to SoS 20.03.20’ shaded in pale red will not be consulted directly in relation to the change proposals, there will also be public consultation in line with the requirements in regulation 20 of the 2011 Regulations.

Finally, the Secretary of State’s written consent in this matter should not be taken as indicating approval for any other aspects of the proposed changes to the Hinkley Point C Order which fall to him for consideration and determination, or whether the proposed changes will ultimately be regarded as material or not.

Yours sincerely,

Denise Libretto Head of Planning
