I wish to raise the following issues of concern in relation to Sizewell C. This is an enormous project - far too big for this special area of England which will cause irreparable damage to this Heritage Coastline. 12 sites of Special Sites of Scientific Interest will be totally compromised. Danger of rise in sea level and flooding . RSPB, Suffolk Wildlife Trust and Suffolk County and District Councils all oppose - benefits do not compensate for impact on the area. Construction of the site will impact detrimentally on the immediate area and on large parts of East Suffolk. Huge impact of the massive construction site - campus, spoil heaps, quarries Huge pylons in a AONB. Massive impact on people's lives - influx of workers from many areas as well as those from all over East Anglia. Transport nightmare - A12 and surrounding roads massively affected. Hundreds of lorries transporting materials on unsuitable roads daily. Village bypass already deemed unacceptable by the Council. Tourism compromised. 8 other uncoordinated energy projects planned in the area. Spent fuel will stay on site until 2140 as there is no long term waste facility yet available. I wish to endorse the Relevant Representation submitted by Stop Sizewell C.
