I am immensely concerned about the proposed Sizewell C development on the following grounds: The huge increase in road and rail traffic in a very sensitive environment; any infrastructure development will destroy much of this prized countryside and is bound to put enormous pressure on associated roads which are already very congested. Pressure on our already stretched resources. The disturbance to our precious wildlife and destruction of a great deal of our countryside in the AONB. The cost of the construction which could be better spent on improving house insulation and local renewable energy systems. The massive influx of workers and the associated pressure caused by accommodation requirements and worker activities. Building a massive structure on a fragile and eroding coast. Light, noise and air pollution from construction. Unproven technology which is already into overspend and delay at Hinkley Point; this technology may well be outdated by the time of completion and Sizewell C will become a huge 'white elephant'
