I currently live in London, wishing to move to Suffolk. Having lived in the capital for 50 years with a constant thrive of building works and traffic. I cannot tell you how damaging it is to life. The idea that there is a constant noise humming away, with so many people that you cannot hear yourself. Why bring all of this to an area of natural beauty. I would like the following concerns to be considered Proposed site, will do detrimental harm to Minsmere a destination for many birds, including the coastal marsh lands that are breeding areas. The proposed site will threaten this Special protection area. Unclear effect on Minsmere Sluice The unacceptable impacts on local communities - severance, traffic, significant increases in noise, light pollution and disruption. Development would result in pollution from light, noise and traffic 6,000 additional workers will come and live in the area, 2,400 in a Worker campus in a location that I oppose. Road based transport plan not sustainable; enormous and adverse impact on local communities and the visitor economy. New roads would sever communities, damage the rural footpath system and divide farmland. I wish to state that I consider the Sizewell C application to be totally unsuitable. Yours sincerely, Ruth van Loen
