From the publication:
A. INTRODUCTION 2.1 This chapter summarises the CEGB's principal arguments for building a Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR) nuclear power station at Sizewell, the objectors' major criticisms of the CEGB's application, and my conclusions and recommendations. My conclusions on the CEGB's case are given in Chapters 47, 90, 104 and 108. What follows is necessarily highly selective and only gives a broad account of my findings. The summary of any particular topic must be read in conjunction with the relevant chapter or chapters for any real appreciation of its significance. References to relevant paragraphs are given where particularly useful. 2.2 In January 1981 the CEGB applied for consent under Section 2 of the Electric Lighting Act 1909 to build a PWR nuclear power station at Sizewell in Suffolk and to construct a new access road to the site; it also applied for deemed planning permission under Section 40 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1971. The Sizewell site is now used for the Magnox A nuclear station, and lies in the Suffolk Heritage Coast and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB); it is close to areas of considerable ecological interest and value.
