I would like to make the following comments regarding several issues with the proposals for Sizewell C Nuclear Power Stations The project will seriously affect an Internationally recognised site of ecological importance including valuable amenity areas which should be protected for public access. Potentially risks from rapidly changing climatic conditions which require much more research. The admitted deterrence of visitors to the locality and further afield will have a devastating effect on relatively fragile local businesses. Local workers required for the project will be unemployed when the project is completed thus creating an extra burden for the already stretched support services. The legacy from existing structure will remain for several hundred years before the area will enjoy a return to the original condition. What therefore, do EDF propose to enable a return to a natural state when the power station is finally decommissioned. I am greatly concerned that investment from partners who do not necessarily have a vested interest in the well being of the UK The example of Huawei being a case in point. New road/railway should be approved and built before the construction work is started. This alone will cause considerable disruption to existing services. To sum up, EDF has not covered its various obligations in cient detail in order for a sensible decision to be taken regarding the construction of Sizewell C I wish to endorse the Relevant Representation by Stop Sizewell C and other organisations who are seeking to prevent this project. Lastly I wish to state that I consider the Sizewell C application to be totally unsuitable for a digital examination process.
