I am concerned about the following issues: 1.Community, social and economic adverse impacts from: • Huge increases in traffic and HGV movements, • Air, (inadequate management of spoil heaps and stockpiles), noise and light pollution • Construction which will sever and disrupt the AONB • economic and job losses for local tourism • negative affect on local businesses from staff losses • Influx of 6,000 workers on already stretched local health, social and emergency services and the housing market • 2,400 workers in a specially built worker campus in a location that I oppose 2. Site location, environment and landscape adverse impacts: • Site location on a fragile, eroding and changing coast that is subject to flooding so that the site could become an island of 5 nuclear reactors and stored waste. • On coastal processes and marine environment and ecology • On adjacent internationally significant designated sites: of ecological importance, cultural heritage, amenity and landscape value • On groundwater levels and risks from increased abstraction plus issues of drainage and supply of 3 million litres of potable water for the construction period and thereafter. • 8 other unco-ordinated energy projects planned for the locality so that the Heritage Coast is now dubbed the Energy Coast • Catastrophic impact through its location, design and scale on the AONB. Once the landscape character is destroyed, it is destroyed for good. I wish to endorse the Relevant Representation submitted by Sizewell C. I further wish to state that I consider the Sizewell C application to be totally unsuitable for a digital examination process.
