My concerns about this propsal are The environment. Traffic. The disruption and degredation of the tourist economy of coastal Suffolk. Environment The area around Sizewell is rich in wildlife habitats not least Minsmere, an internationaly renowned wildlife sanctury. The devestation wrought by the construction process will last long after construction is completed. I am not at all sure that enough thought has been put into the consequences of climate change with the risk of sea level rise and flooding. Traffic I live in Blythburgh which is cut in two by the A12. The extra traffice approaching the northern park and ride in Darsham and going direct to the site will make crossing the A12, which is already hard enough, intolerable. Despite EDF's assurances I also anticipate the extra traffic on the B1125 will be far too much of a burden for this village and the others along this road. Economy The disruption mentioned above will have a severley adverse impact on the local tourism and hospitality businesses which contribute so much to the local econmy. Again this will take a very long time to recover after the completion of construction.
