The scheme as proposed should be rejected. The local issues which particularly concern me include the following: (1) road transport disruption. The road network cannot reasonably support the volume of site traffic proposed. (2) there is a failure to take the opportunity to upgrade public transport, including reopening a passenger service from Saxmundham to Leiston (3) the adverse impact on tourism, the lifeblood of employment in the local area, is unacceptable (4) the development phase would involve the destruction of areas of natural beauty (5) the environmental impact, noise/pollution is unacceptable. Additional grounds for objection (6) unacceptable economics and (7) a threat to national security in terms of Chinese and French involvement and (8) we need to see a “successful” completion of Hinckley before consideration for this scheme.
