New plans which would take hundreds of lorries a week off Suffolk’s roads during the construction of the proposed Sizewell C nuclear power station have been formally submitted to the Planning Inspectorate. The proposals were part of a 30-day public consultation at the end of the autumn outlining how the development would see a larger focus on sea and rail for delivery of materials if the £20billion twin reactor gets the go-ahead. EDF Energy says the changes to the plans would cut by 20% the amount travelling by road and would mean 150 less HGVs on local roads on the busiest day over the peak construction period.
