  • traffic through the village of Westleton will inevitably increase. The lanes through from Blythburgh to Middleton have not been considered and there are many pinch points which are already a hazard. Elderly people, narrow or no pavements will combine to create a highly dangerous area for pedestrians, cyclists, mobility scooters - as well as private cars. - the Proposals for the site are quite incompatible with its ANOB stays. - the concerns of RSPB are considerable and have not been addressed. - the site is quite unsuitable for the intended development. - impact of an extensive workforce in such a rural area is going to disrupt and devastate local life for residents. - site work, destruction and disturbance of wildlife and peaceful enjoyment of the countryside and an influx of workers will be a disincentive for visitors and with the inevitable negative knock on effect to local businesses already struggling through the pandemic. They will not survive such an enormous hit. - living accommodation for workers next to four 11-storey soil dumps (Potentially transporting 24 hours a day) looks and sounds horrendous. The proposed leisure facilities on site will not compensate for a workforce “contained” on the site. - this is old technology. Better solutions can and must now be supported. - the project is completely inappropriate to the site.
