An application for a Development Consent Order to build two new nuclear reactors at Sizewell was submitted in May 2020. Feedback has resulted in EDF bringing forward more potential changes to their proposal which the Parish Council have consistently opposed due to the direct impacts on Kelsale-cum-Carlton. There will be a limited 'virtual' 30 day consultation on EDF's proposed changes which we are advised relate to some elements of their existing transport and environmental proposals. All EDF's materials in support of their new proposals will be available online from 18th November 2020, or you can request a hardcopy of the...

Kelsale-cum-Carlton Parish Council acknowledged at their meeting on the 26th August that it would not be responsible to host the annual bonfire and fireworks during 2020.
