I believe this project will have a massively detrimental affect on both human and environmental issues in an area of the UK which is both beautiful, with a vibrant tourist economy, but also irreplaceable natural sites, such as Minsmere adjacent. This development would sever the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, never to be restored. It would be impossible to compensate for landscape and ecological damage. Social impact will be enormous: A vast increase in traffic, significant increases in noise, light pollution and disruption. 6,000 workers will come and live in the area, the Worker campus is in a location that I and many others oppose for social and environmental reasons. The RSPB reserve will be significantly impacted and this area of coast is important ecologically and for tourism. This coast is already subject to significant erosion and the threat of climate change, sea level rise and flooding is of great concern to me. Road based transport plan not sustainable; enormous and adverse impact on local communities and the visitor economy. Villages would endure 2-3 years of increased traffic and new roads would sever communities, damage the rural footpath system and divide farmland. I wish to endorse the Relevant Representation submitted by Stop Sizewell C. I wish to state that I consider the Sizewell C application to be totally unsuitable for a digital examination process. Please reconsider this irreversible damage to our wildlife, ecology and environment Jen Coates 26/9/2020
