Although I am not a local, I do visit each year and am devastated to hear of the proposal to build Sizewell C. This is by any measure an area of valuable botanic and bird life, and as we know, it is right beside RSPB Minsmere. On my last visit in August I found many maritime plants including restharrow, sea holly, sea kale, sea campion, yellow-horned poppy, tree lupin, and Scots Pines. I saw a Marsh Harrier and a Kestrel. All this seen on one very short visit (returned many times after). Coronation Wood and the young wood facing the sea are valuable carbon capture zones, reduce noise from Sizewell B and are aesthetically important. Not to speak of the protected Adders in the scrub, which should not be exposed to any disturbance from building disruption, noise, vibration etc. I am horrified to think any of this would be impacted in any way negatively. This special coastal environment deserves the highest protection, and I am entirely opposed to Sizewell C being built. I cannot convey my concern adequately. [Redacted]
