‘The Claimant sought judicial review of the Council’s decision to grant planning permission for replacement facilities in respect of what is known as “Sizewell B” power station, part of the Sizewell power stations in Suffolk, in advance of a decision on whether or not to grant development consent for “Sizewell C”. The site lies within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB and the Suffolk Heritage Coast. The Sizewell Marshes SSSI lies immediately west and north of the site and within the western boundary lies Coronation Wood. The Claimant was Secretary and member of “Together Against Sizewell C”, a group which held concerns as to the sensitive nature of the environment around Sizewell and the impact of the Sizewell C project.’
