I believe this project is going to be an expensive environmental catastrophe in an already precarious area of outstanding natural beauty. Over the last 25 years I have visited and spent time living in the area and have seen the change to the landscape as a result of coastal erosion and pressure from the many uncoordinated energy projects which come together in the area. This is not the site for this project. I have also worked in Lowestoft, just north of Sizewell, a town which is desperate for investment and industry. If this project must go ahead, why has an area reliant on tourism with a mostly retired population been selected, rather than an area which could benefit from jobs, infrastructure and other investments? I am completing this on behalf of myself but also my grandparents who have lived in the area for decades but are finding the digital consultation inaccessible. A project of this scale with the associated financial and environmental costs must be open and accessible to all.
