Copies of the Environmental Statement (£250), CDs of the full Environmental Statement (£5) and the Non- Technical Summary (free of charge) may be obtained, while stocks last, from Nathan Swankie of ENVIRON UK Limited, 7 Walker Street, Edinburgh, EH3 7JY, TEL: 0131 225 9899.

Any objections to the proposals, stating the name of the power station and the grounds of the objection, should be made in writing to the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, c/o Gary Mohammed (Manager, Power Station and Pipeline Consents), Room 2121, 1 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0ET, or by emails to: gary.mohammed@decc.gsi.gov.uk not later than June 23 2009. Other representations are also welcome. Unless otherwise indicated, copies of any objections received, will be regarded as public documents.

During the consideration of the proposal the Secretary of State may formally request further information from the developer to supplement the Environmental Statement, and materially relevant additional information may also be generated. If that happens, further public notices will give advice on how representations may be made to the Secretary of State on this material.

Following receipt of all views and representations the Secretary of State will either grant or refuse consent for the proposal (with or without conditions). This may involve holding a public inquiry first, depending on whether there is a statutory objection from the relevant planning authority, or the Secretary of State decides to exercise his discretion to call a public inquiry in the light of objection by other persons.

This is a re-advertisement of the notice dated 7 April 2009.
