I would like to register the strongest objection to the project on the following grounds: 1-unsuitable site, in an area of coastal erosion, and vulnerable to flooding 2- damage to the environment and properties 3-completely unacceptable scale of disruption to a large area of Suffolk and transport links for a period of many years. In particular, local roads CANNOT TAKE expected loads 4-strong hostility to the project by the community 5-the devastation of the visitor economy 6-lack of coordination with other large scale projects proposed for the area 7-wholly negative social impact of parachuting thousands of workers into a quiet area, generating huge anxiety and pressure on resources 8-uncertainty over adequacy of funding and resulting (totally unquantifiable) exposure for taxpayers Finally I want to endorse the Relevant Representation submitted by Stop Sizewell C, and would add that the Sizewell C application is not suitable for a digital examination process in view of its complexity, scale and local hostility.
