This statutory consultation was on the scope of the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for a proposed National Policy Statement (NPS) on planning for new nuclear power stations. It proposed how the SEA will be undertaken, the level and type of information to be covered in the Environmental Report, and how the SEA will be integrated into the development of the proposed Nuclear NPS.
The consultation was intended to seek views from statutory consultees which are the Environment Agency, English Heritage, Natural England, the Department of the Environment (Northern Ireland), Scottish Ministers, Historic Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, the Welsh Assembly Government, Cadw, Countryside Council for Wales and the Environment Agency Wales.
We also consulted the Department of Health, the Health Protection Agency, the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate, Defra and the Industrial and Radiochemical Inspectorate (Northern Ireland) because of their roles in relation to the regulation of nuclear facilities. This was not a public consultation but we will consider any comments from other persons or organisations submitted before the consultation closed on 21 April 2008.
