I am concerned that the proposed plan will have an extremely deleterious effect on the fragile RSPB nature reserve adjacent to the site. This site is a national treasure and the building work, traffic, workers’ village and other expansion will have a damaging effect on the reserve. The massive cost of the project would be better spent on well distributed renewable energy projects and a programme of building insulation. This would employ far more people over a longer period whilst impacting much less on the environment. The building of a nuclear reactor in Suffolk would have a massive impact on the environment and quality of life of thousands affected by the building and associated traffic. This will have a huge impact on the tourism sector in Suffolk over a considerable amount of time.
