I wish to oppose the construction of Sizewell C. The Suffolk coast is subject to erosion , we have no idea the extent of change that will take place over the next 25 years with rapid sea level rises predicted in excess of modelling . Protecting Sizewell C with flood defences could have dramatic impact on the erosion of the surrounding coast including areas of ecological importance, and coastal communities. Huge amounts of potable water would be required , the abstraction of this would have a devastating effect on the surrounding environment; in one of the driest parts of the country Our rural area has been targeted for an excessive number of energy projects with a lack of coordination . The nuclear industry is no longer financially viable and new development no longer required.The carbon cost of construction will take years to redress , whilst new efficient technologies will take over from the nuclear industry The effect on our fragile local infrastructure , with transport ,health and accommodation requirements would be excessive. The tourism sector would suffer excessively. I endorse the submissions from Suffolk Wildlife Trust, RSPB and the Stop Sizewell C representations
