I am writing to register my interest as a local resident in East Suffolk. I believe there to be significant concerns in selection of the site for Sizewell C which is subject to sea level rise, climate change and coastal resosion with knock on flooding risk at the site and along the further coast for coastal communitites. The economic impacts for an area depepndent on trouirsm will be significant as tourism is adversely impacted for years during construction. Air pollution will increase with teh increase in heavy goods vehicles on the roads passing close to residentail areas and through villages. This is not acceptabel when we know so much mmore on the impacts of poor air quality on health and particularly in a post pandemic period. The area around Sizewell is an AONB and supports numerous species which are being lost to this country. With other technologies fast becoming viable and preferable alternatives, the ongoing use of nuclear power is not sustainable. I beleive our coastal area is already a hub for alternative echnologies and we should be pursuing the best of the latest such as hydrogen usage rather than nuclear that leave such toxic waste. There is still no long term solution to the storage of spent fuel which will be a problem for the children of our children. I am also concerned about the wording of the Explanatory Memorandum and Planning Statement. I believe the representations by Suffolk Wildlife Trust, the RSPB and Stop Sizewell C to be fully valid.
