The proposed Sizewell C project should not be in the Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) or on the Suffolk Heritage Coast. I grew up in Colchester and I used to visit this incredible place to walk, to feel the freedom of nature and to enjoy the incredibly rich and diverse birdlife. This is the wrong place for another nuclear power station - the environmental damage to Suffolk’s protected landscape and designated habitats will be so severe that this project should be rejected outright. Public appetite for conservation is at its highest in our lifetimes. I support the conserving of our beautiful countryside and coastal idylls. This proposed project will lead to coastal erosion, habitats destroyed, water systems becoming imbalanced, deforestation. All contributing further to the destruction of our wonderful natural habitats, adding to the impact of climate change and eroding our relationship with the natural world.
