Relevant Representation, Sizewell C, Peta-Jane Whiting, My Main Concerns are; Minsmere and Ecology of the area • Unique there are more species per acre on the Minsmere Reserve than on any other reserve in the UK. • Habitat Special Protection area of International importance. Many years of hard work and dedication in bringing species such as the Marsh Harrier back from virtual extinction, the Little Tern colony which nests on the shingle beach and so many other carefully nurtured species, all this will be destroyed. • Pollution Noise, dust, 24hour lighting, excavated mega heaps of soil will make life unbearable for people and all species who live there. • Water Supply for all the concrete required, this endangers the water table and the carefully regulated water levels in the Marshes • Flooding and Erosion this coast is unstable, changes in sea level because of climate change are unpredictable, making building a nuclear reactor on this site dangerous and irresponsible, leaving a problem for future generations to inherit. • nuclear wasteland will be the result of this plan by EDF to build on Suffolk's greatest Gem, it won’t even offset CO2 emissions for at least six years. Tourism and Heritage Economy • I am a holiday let provider, I am concerned that tourism will be devastated, up to £40 million a year, highly detrimental to Suffolk’s overall economy. People will not want to visit the Suffolk coast any more. East Bridge • Peace will be destroyed by the planned accommodation for 2,400 workers, the Eels Foot Public House, the unique and Historic traditions of aural folk song and Suffolk Step dancing, all will loose their ancient home Area of Outstanding National Beauty International designated sites of ecological importance, there will be irreparable destruction to; Ancient heaths Marsh habitats Quiet Lanes for walking and cycling Bird and Wildlife Watching on land and sea Unspoilt and Tranquil distinctive character inspires artists , musicians and writers Transport and Population changes • Jobs workers will be brought in temporarily from elsewhere • Current road network is insufficient to support all the heavy lorries required, the A12 gets congested at times already and it threads through small villages; the new road plans sever ancient footpaths and communities further impacting the area • Sizewell C is completely unsuited to a digital examination process because it is far too complex and important. • I endorse Stop Sizewell C’s Relevant Representation
