Please note the responses referenced/linked above correspond to those received during the variation application consultation held between 15/03/2019 and 26/07/2019
In February 2019 we received an application from NNB Generation Company (HPC) Limited to vary an environmental permit for
Hinkley Point C Power Station
Hinkley Point
Near Bridgwater
Somerset
TA5 1UD
Between March and July 2019 we sought the public’s comments on the environmental permit application. Please note this consultation has ended. However the application documentation can still be viewed via the links in the ‘Related’ documents section below. The published responses to the application consultation can also still be viewed via the link above.
In August 2020, the applicant served notice on us as it considered its application to vary the permit had been refused because we had not yet completed our determination.
In September 2020 the applicant told us that it had appealed to the Secretary of State against the Environment Agency’s deemed refusal of the application. The appeal to the Secretary of State will be heard by the Planning Inspectorate (PINS) which has powers delegated by the Secretary of State to deal with environmental permit appeals.
Where can I find more information?
You can view the main appeal documentation on this Citizen Space portal via the links in ‘Related’ documents below that start with 'Appeal document – '.

We are currently awaiting for the Planning Inspectorate to set a date for when the Inquiry will be heard. We will update this Citizen Space page once this has been confirmed.
