Sizewell C is not required if the life of the existing plant is extended by 20 years as by then we will be less dependent on conventional (old) power production Sizewell C represents a significant environmental threat to the coastal areas of Suffolk. The scope of the environmental risks examined are limited to the immediate bay and have not considered the impact of a large built structure in the sea and its effect on coastal erosion in what is a very fragile coastline and important wetland for rare and Potentially endangered species. The life of the built structure is forecast to be at least 70 years and in the study no assessment has been given to the longer term impact on the coast and environment.
