I have been a resident of Suffolk for 50 years. I am a keen supporter of wildlife, belonging to many organisations such as the RSPB, Butterfly Conservation Trust, and Wildlife Trusts. I am also a keen walker, one of my favourite walks being from the Coastguard Cottages, and around Minsmere, which I have done for years. I am objecting strongly to the siting of Sizewell C, on the following grounds: Destruction of wildlife sites, and flora and fauna. Replacement will not work. Destruction of loved amenities, such as walks. Unsuitability due to the rural nature of the area, and destruction of countryside due to increased traffic, new roads and roundabouts, and the disruption to the lives of local people and the A12 route to Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth. Redundancy due to rapid increase in green energy, such that it will be redundant before it is even built. Coastal erosion, and damage to the sea eco system through the use of sea water.
