We are pleased to announce that EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Limited (EDF Energy) was granted planning permission for the construction of a new Projects Building at Sizewell B Nuclear Power Station. The Projects Building will provide office accommodation during the planned outage at Sizewell B during the commissioning of the Dry Fuel Store.

Acting as planning agents for EDF, we prepared all the necessary planning application documents and materials. We liaised with the local planning authority, Suffolk Coastal District Council and monitored the application's progress through the determination process.

The planning permission authorises the construction and use as offices of the new Projects Building, together with associated civil and ground works.

The granting of planning permission by Suffolk Coastal District Council demonstrates that the proposals are an acceptable land use, which accord with adopted and emerging policy requirements at a local and national level.
