ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: Loss of AONB Impossible for EDF to mitigate environmental losses - biodiversity in this area includes many ancient sites, destruction of which is irreversible at a time of ‘Climate Emergency’. SITE: This coast is eroding - grave concern for stability of any new building work here, let alone a new nuclear power station! Local towns of Leiston & Eastbridge unable to cope with influx. Locals will suffer. Too much workforce proposed into a small area creates social problems - previous experience here and elsewhere TRAFFIC: Issues on small country roads - rat running etc not taken into account on local roads. Proposed changes to B1122 are wholly inappropriate The legacy left in this beautiful (AONB) area will be concrete and tarmac! NUCLEAR AS A POWER SOURCE: This is so obviously no longer the way forward - too expensive, takes too long to build/over-runs based on other projects…leaving nuclear waste for future generations (see also environmental issues) EDF: Not a reliable company based on their track record of operation and costs. The company pays lip service to the idea of interacting with local groups but then ignores local knowledge and experience. EDF’s marketing misinformation includes too many false statements FUNDING: The project is too expensive for what is envisaged as a return….and funding projects suggesting that all energy users will have to contribute is ludicrous when so many people now want green energy as there is a better understanding of the Climate Crisis. I wish to endorse the Relevant Representation submitted by Stop Sizewell C. I wish to state that I consider the Sizewell C application to be totally unsuitable for a digital examination process.
