Activities
Advised EDF Energy on Hinkley nuclear deal
In March 2013 Justine Thornton and colleague Stephen Tromans QC were part of the team advising EdF Energy as it sought to win planning consent for a new Hinkley Point nuclear reactor. According to a statement on 39 Essex Street's website:
- The Secretary of State on 19 March announced approval of the application by EFD [sic] Energy for construction of the first new nuclear power station in the UK for over 25 years. The application was made under the Planning Act 2008 and is for a 3,260 MW station comprising two European Pressurised reactors. The order also covers associated development and compulsory acquisition.
The statement also said that Thornton's colleague Christiaan Zwart acted for the Environment Agency as a statutory consultee, and that Stephen Tromans QC and Zack Simons had acted for the Nuclear Industry Association in 2011 in successfully resisting a legal challenge to the decision to justify the building of the EPR type reactor.
