Site at Masterlord Industrial Estate, Leiston, Suffolk, IP16

Location
Leiston is located in eastern Suffolk, on the edge of the Suffolk Heritage Coast. The town is approximately 35 km (22 miles) south of Lowestoft and 40 km (25 miles) north-east of Ipswich. The seaside town of Alderburgh is approximately 6.4 km (4 miles) to the south-east. The Port of Felixstowe is some 47 km (29 miles) to the south.

The town benefits from good road communications, with the B119 providing direct access to the A12 approximately 8 km (5 miles) to the west. The A12 in turn provides dual carriageway access to the A14, the principle link from the Port of Felixstowe to the East Midlands. Saxmundham is approximately 6.4 km (4 miles) to the west and provides regular rail services to Ipswich and London Liverpool Street with a journey time of 40 minutes and 2 hours respectively.

Sizewell B & C

The Sizewell B Power Plant is approximately 4.8 km (3 miles) east of Leiston. It is the UK's most modern nuclear power station, employing 520 people plus 250 contractor partners.

EDF Energy plans to build a new power station on land next to the current Sizewell B station. Should the necessary planning consents be received, Sizewell C will provide around 7% of the UK's electricity. The plant is expected to create huge economic opportunities in both the local area and across the East of England, generating employment opportunities and new contracts for local businesses both during construction and operation, which would benefit the local industrial market.

It is anticipated that the power station would put at least £100 million a year into the regional economy during peak construction and £40 million per year during its 60 years of operation. Construction of Sizewell C would create approximately 25,000 roles on the main development site during the construction phase. Once operational, there would be a long-term legacy of 900 new jobs.
