Sizewell C - Planning Inspectorate submissions by WPC
Below are links to three key documents that Councillor Josie Bassinette submitted to the planning inspectorate on behalf of Walberswick Parish Council. These documents are aligned with the various agendas that were followed by the Planning Inspectorate on different days of the issue specific hearings (ISH). WPC participated in 3 of the main sets — ISH 2 and ISH3 on Traffic and Transport, ISH 4 on Socio-economic and Community Issues and the two days of ISH 7 on biodiversity and ecology. We were directed by the Planning inspectorate to provide documents separately for each ISH.
WPC spoke at each of these hearings and those comments are summarised within these documents. In addition are all the things that would have been added had the time permitted to each speaker allowed it, but naturally, the Inspector can only give limited time and we are meant to send in writing everything that we were unable to say. Also, the 'rules of engagement' at these hearings is always to give the applicant the last word, so many of their statements have to go unchallenged at the hearings themselves and these documents are a way to respond in the circumstances.
