A draft of a new National Policy Statement for nuclear energy generation has been published for consultation, as part of the ongoing review of planning policy. This follows on from a consultation last year on an approach to site assessment for nuclear energy. The draft consultation states "While significant noise, vibration, or air quality issues are unlikely during operation, construction-related transport may have local impacts." Noise is covered in detail in the Appraisal of Sustainability. The consultation is open until midday April 3rd.
