Insufficiently complete planning seems to have gone in to the question of coastal erosion. Specifically: the assumed time frame for coastal erosion/remoulding of the coastline etc is far too short - and appears to stop at an arbitrary point in time, when it is clear that the impacts will continue indefinitely. it is assumed that sea levels do not change, which is not consistent with the expectation of experts - climate change is expected to change sea levels and the severiy to storms (adn thus tidal surges) over a timeframe that is relevant tp this application; as new evidence and data are collected and modelling is refined, the timescales over which we should expect material change to cliamte and sea levels are getting shorted rather than longer this leads to potential for significant risks, especially to the south of Sizewell, and legally binding arrangements would need to be place to allow for the very significant costs of protecting Thorpeness, Aldeburgh, and the (ecologicaly important but fragile) spit down to the mouth of the Alde/Ore
