Reduce uncertainty on the release of sites for future nuclear projects
Reduce siting uncertainty
There should be a clear process for releasing new sites for potential use. DESNZ should within a fixed 28 day period confirm whether it has any objections to the use of any site. The landowner (e.g. EDF or NDA) should then confirm within a 28 day period whether they will make the land available for use (subject to any necessary private agreements).
If the approval is not provided, this should be clearly articulated to avoid abortive work. Approval should be automatic if a decision is not made within the time limit.
