- I am strongly against the proposed development. - The site is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, on a very fragile receding coast and surrounded by extremely important sites of ecological scientific interest. - The development would be catastrophic for the environment and no amount of 'mitigation' could compensate for the loss. - The development would be hugely detrimental to the wider surrounding area and permanently change the rural character of the countryside by bringing in intolerable amounts of industrial and infrastructure development (new roads, lorry parks, spoil heaps, water abstraction etc etc), traffic, noise and light pollution and people (eg workers campuses). - There would be catastrophic impact on tourism resulting in huge economic losses for the area. - New nuclear is far too expensive with no acceptable financial options. - The nuclear industry is in decline and the funding and innovation should be redirected to the thriving renewables industry, in particular the offshore wind projects IN THE SAME AREA. - EDF energy have a dreadful track record in building EPRs safely, on time and on budget!! Finally, the consultation should be put on hold during this time of global pandemic.
