I would like to know how nuclear waste will be made safe and stored especially with regard to climate change and think that this site is unsuitable. Visitor economy will face further downturn: Tourism may lose up to £40m a year and 400 jobs. EDF surveys suggest 29% of visitors could be deterred. I would like EDF to consider the impact on the local community and the transport of goods too and from the site - will this increase traffic and how will rural communities be kept safe? What about pollution of light and noise? i am very concerned about the impact of pollution in the local area esp. Minsmere and how the infrastructure will impact on biodiversity in the area - I am not convinced that this development will be good for long term safety of the ecology of the area. the rates of erosion and recession episodic and unpredictable and there are huge negative mpacts of Beach Landing Facility on coastal processes. In this age of mass extinction and plastic pollution the impacts on marine ecology would deteriorate further. I am very worried that the country is investing in old fashioned and obsolete 20th c. technology and needs instead to invest in greener more efficient forms of energy. i feel that this sort of site belongs in the decades of the past and has no part to play in contemporary industry. Thank you
