I wish to raise the following issues of concern about Sizewell C. My concerns can be summarised as follows: 1. SITE SELECTION, ENVIRONMENT & LANDSCAPE. Given climate change, sea level rises and flooding, the site is at severe risk if not right now then in the foreseeable future. The impact on adjacent Minsmere and internationally designated sites of ecological importance, and on the cultural heritage and landscape of the East Suffolk coast, would be catastrophic, irreversible and impossible to compensate. 2. COMMUNITY, ECONOMIC & SOCIAL IMPACTS - unacceptable impacts on local communities and the lack of infrastructure to support the 6,000 workers including 2,400 in a Worker Campus. Pressure on local housing, health, social and emergency services. Very negative impact on tourism economy which is vital to the local area. The road-based transport plan would have an enormous and highly damaging impact on local communities and visitor economy. HGV numbers are as high as those under 'Road-Led' proposals rejected by all statutory consultees in consultations. 3. COST / ENERGY PRODUCTION. The economic, ecological and social costs of Sizewell C will totally eclipse any benefits of its future energy generation. And the risks to the area's future 'safety' are impossible to quantify.
