## Notice

The Authority may require an independent review under the recently awarded Framework (Nuclear Projects - Specialist Technical Advice to the MMO) call-off contract for nuclear new build Hinkley Point C (HPC) technical advice on the scientific robustness of information provided by HPC in support of new request for a marine licence, variations to an existing marine licence or requirements under the Development Consent Order. The main aspect of HPC development relates to dredging and disposal within the marine environment. For the purposes of this scenario, please review marine licence application ref MLA/2015/00088/5 which can be found on MMO public register to inform your costing model. This is an application unrelated to HPC but is similar in the type of activity and issues the MMO would expect to be considered as part of a review.
