I have a number of concerns about the suggested project at Sizewell: 1. Living in Yoxford, I can see that the road-based transport plan provided now has not adequately been shown to be the best of the alternatives given during consultation; 2. Also, the subsequent effects on the local tourism industry have been underplayed. There seems to have been no consideration given to, for instance, pollution levels arising from the increased traffic idling at the proposed Yoxford roundabout. The Kings Head on the A12 is one of only two cafes/restaurants providing meals in Yoxford and surely the levels of pollutants arising from diesel fuel consumption here will be toxic and above so-called safe levels with the increase in traffic and the proposed roundabout; 3. I feel that the EDF consultation process has not adequately addressed the many ecological and environmental problems likely to occur in this AONB from the proposed Sizewell C plan. 4. I moved to Yoxford 7 years ago and find it non-sensical that such a major project plan for Sizewell could be deemed suitable for such a small but environmentally important area, lacking suitable road and other infrastructure; 5. Additionally, I wish to state that I consider the Sizewell C application to be totally unsuitable for a digital examination process. I wish to endorse the Relevant Representation submitted by Stop Sizewell C.
