A condition placed on EDF by the Environment Agency (EA) when it was awarded permission to build Hinkley Point C was that Acoustic Fish Deterrents (AFDs) would be placed on the two massive cooling water intake heads 3 kilometres offshore from the nuclear site. EDF is now trying to renege on its commitment and is seeking a variation on the planning conditions imposed.
