The three most senior NSW police during the Sydney siege will front the Lindt Cafe inquest next week.

NSW Commissioner Andrew Scipione, his deputy Cath Burn, and then-acting deputy commissioner Jeff Loy will be quizzed on Tuesday and Wednesday about whether they inappropriately interfered - or failed to intervene when they ought to have - during the deadly standoff in December 2014.

All three have denied giving any operational guidance, advice or orders during the Martin Place siege.
