I am the County Councillor for the Wickham Division in Suffolk. There are six civil parishes within the Division. On behalf of myself and having sought to understand how Sizewell C would impact on local residents, businesses and visitors I object to the proposed development for the following main reasons: A) Sizewell C site to be served for ten+ years primarily by HGVs travelling on Suffolk's roads with resultant congestion, potential reduction in access and mobility for other road users and significant increase in carbon emissions as bulk of HGVs, and other supply chain vehicles, will be diesel fuelled. B) failure to plan for greater use of East Suffolk Line, suitably upgraded, for movement of construction materials by day to leave less to be moved by road. C) landscaping of the proposed Southern Park & Ride site including a reduced bunding from previous indicative plans coupled with incomplete details for lighting and impact on existing landscape features including significant oak and whin belt woodland. D) failure of proposals to include required mitigation works on the A12 with a focus on the stretch from Martlesham to north of Wickham Market and despite problems being set out in detail by Suffolk County Council as Highways Authority during previous rounds of public consultation undertaken by the applicant.
