I wish to endorse the Relevant Representation submitted by Stop Sizewell C. I think the Sizewell C application is probably unsuitable for a digital examination process. The following are my issues of concern. Vulnerability of site to climate change and rising sea levels containing 5 nuclear plants and associated stored waste. Adverse impact of development on important adjacent areas of amenity, cultural heritage, landscape value and scientific interest. Unacceptable impact on local communities of increased traffic, light and dust pollution. The contentious issue of a large workers campus in open country adjacent to a small rural community and overlooking the Minsmere reserve. Disruption and possible destruction of local economy based on tourism. Over reliance on road based supply systems and failure to exploit rail and sea options fully. Unsuitable new roads and bypasses in place of a properly assessed relief road originally proposed for Sizewell B. Totally unacceptable source of bulk aggregates spoil disposal and quarrying overlooking an internationally significant RSPB Reserve and adjacent to a small rural community. Uncertainty about impact on flooding, drainage and water supply in this sensitive marsh habitat.
