Together Against Sizewell C had argued the government had failed to assess the environmental impact of the project when granting planning permission.The Court of Appeal overturned this ruling, based on arguments around the lack of a permanent water supply for the site.Lord Justice Coulson dismissed other grounds for the appeal.
Jenny Kirtley, chair of the group of local residents, said: "[We] are delighted by the appeal court's decision and welcome the acknowledgement that our appeal, challenging the secretary of state's approval of Sizewell C, has a 'real prospect of success'."
