CONTROVERSIAL proposals for a nuclear power station have suffered another blow after a council rejected applications for land investigations to be carried out at the site for the second time. Maldon District Council has rejected an application for land investigations to take place at the site of the proposed Bradwell B plant. The application, from Chinese developer CGN, was first turned down in July, but Maldon District Council officers sought legal advice and asked councillors to reconsider. Chairman of the Blackwater Against New Nuclear Group (Banng) Prof Andy Blowers said: “Maldon has long been a supporter of new nuclear power at Bradwell and this refusal deals another blow to CGN’s hopes of building their own reactors in the UK at the site.”
