We’re consulting on the draft of the new nuclear National Policy Statement (NPS) EN-7, following the previous consultation on a proposed approach to siting new nuclear power stations beyond 2025 which ran from January to March 2024. 

The consultation document contains the government response to the previous consultation, and the policy proposals the government intends to take forward in EN-7.

The proposed NPS will be applicable to nuclear power stations expected to deploy beyond 2025.
