I am from the Suffolk coastal area and have significant concerns regarding the impact of this proposed development upon the local area, infrastructure and biodiversity. Suffolk is a quiet place and a vast increase in traffic upon the local roads will place huge strain upon the local community. My parents live in Suffolk and [Redacted], so the expected impact to air quality is of great concern. In addition, the local roads in Suffolk would be overwhelmed by a huge increase in traffic and HGVs which would massively disrupt and adversely affect local communities. I am also concerned about the impact to the local protected areas, namely RSPB Minsmere and Minsmere-Warbleswick SPA and Outer Thames Estuary SPA. I do not believe that the application has adequately assessed the impacts alone or in incombination. In addition, nuclear power is expensive and a lot more costly compared to renewable energy sources. The risk of terrorism and/or human error is also massive and the consequences may be devestating.
