UK campaign group Together Against Sizewell C (TASC) have been granted permission for another hearing to challenge construction of the Sizewell C NPP in Suffolk. Court of Appeal judge Lord Justice Coulson allowed the hearing on the issue of a permanent water supply, and because of public interest in the development. He decided that the arguments on the need for a desalination plant should be looked at again. The group can now appeal against an earlier decision by Justice Holgate in the High Court to refuse a judicial review.
