Hartlepool nuclear power station is a tall, dark grey building surrounded by towers and pylons. There is smoke rising from some of the chimneys on the smaller, grey outer buildings. The facility is situated on a stretch of grass with a fence and foliage in the foreground, including the leafy top of a tree which is slightly out of focus.

  • The site is located west of the power station within the applicant's landholding, chosen to avoid sensitive habitats.
