I am concerned about the huge amount of embedded carbon emissions created by this huge construction. The number of lorry movements and sheer quantity of concrete will have a significant impact on climate. This will also impact many local villages with many lorry movements throughout the day with associated noise and pollution not to mention potential damage to heritage buildings. The construction will damage the heritage coast and negatively impact the area of outstanding natural beauty and harm the nearby Minsmere nature reserve. I am concerned about the boom/bust effect that years of construction will have on the local economy. When Sizewell B finished construction there was a local recession. I am also concerned about constructing a nuclear reactor on an eroding coast and potential problems after sea level rise due to climate change.
