EDFs Hinkley Point C company, NNB Generation Company (HPC) Ltd, is proposing to make changes to the Development Consent Order for Hinkley Point C.

It held a consultation from 9 January to 29 February 2024.

The Environment Agency, in its role as a statutory consultee, is responding to the pre-application consultation to materially change the original Development Consent Order.

This document sets out the Environment Agencys advice on HPCs obligations in providing an Environmental Impact Assessment, Habitats Regulations Assessment, Water Framework Directive Compliance Assessment, Flood Risk Assessments, Environmental Permits, and other areas within our remit.

This response does not represent the Environment Agencys final view and is provided without prejudice in relation to any future Development Consent Order application or Environmental Permit applications made to us.

The Environment Agencys final views will be based on all relevant information included in the applications and the latest guidance available at that time.

EDFs Hinkley Point C company, NNB Generation Company (HPC) Ltd must apply for and obtain relevant permits from the Environment Agency for construction, operation and decommissioning.
