The deadline for lodging a claim against the Secretary of State’s decision to grant development consent for the Sizewell C Project was 31 August 2022. A claim for judicial review of that decision lodged by the RSPB on 1 September 2022 has since been withdrawn by the RSPB.

A separate claim has been lodged by Together Against Sizewell C (TASC), relating in summary to the permanent water supply for the project, alternatives and decommissioning, on which Herbert Smith Freehills is advising SZC Co. as an interested party. The interested party considers the claim to be without merit.

Details of the project are available in our blog entitled “Development consent granted for the Sizewell C Project” which is available here.
