Excessive noise and vibration due to trains through Saxmundham A12 unable to deal with over 1000 lorry movements per day in addition to other Sizewell C vehicle movements AND the 800 houses planned for the Saxmundham garden village next to the A12. Detrimental impact on local residents as they have to compete in the housing market for accommodation due to higher rents and shortages. Negative impact on the environment in the Sizewell area and damage to the Minsmere bird reserve and the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Loss of nationally important animal and plant species from the area. Negative impact on marine species due to sea freight and extraction of millions of gallons of sea water during operation. Water shortages due to Sizewell C need for fresh water. Danger to the power station from increasingly high tides due to melting polar ice. Lack of preparation against potential tsunami from Canary Island of Hierro collapse, Icelandic volcanic activity and Norwegian rockfalls. Negative impact on the local tourist industry leading to long term unemployment in the area. Negative impact on local communities due to short-term rush of new jobs followed by collapse as those jobs end and highly-trained people leave the area.
