I wish to register the following concerns about the proposed Sizewell C development: I am concerned about the potential damage to wildlife during the construction stage and after. I am also concerned about the safety risks in the longer term and particularly with the nuclear waste. I am opposed to the proposed development on the following principal grounds: 1. Economic case no longer made. Other sources of energy, ie renewables, now provide cheaper electricity and technological advances in the storage of electricity means that the relaibaility case is no longer valid. Also, is the end of life 'cleanup' taken into account? 2. Carbon. I am concerned about the carbon footprint of the construction, operation and end of Sizewell C's life disposal. 3. Major wildlife and biodeversity threat to an area that is rich in wildlife. Particular threat to Minsmere Reserve - although it does not impinge on the reserve itself, the proximity to a massive construction site will severely affect the surrounding habitats. 4 Tourism. This project will have a long-term affect on the tourism locally and possibly across East Anglia.
