Negative impact on Tourism and accommodation - My sister has been running a B&B for the last 3.5 years just 20 minutes drive from Sizewell and she is very concerned by the impact on her business and tourism in general the development could bring. It's a luxury high end B&B. Her guests come here mainly to walk the coast, visit Minsmere and Dunwich Heath, both vulnerable locations to disruption and destruction as Sizewell C goes into construction. Negative impact on Eastbridge As a homeowner in Eastbridge with my mother and younger sister, we are very worried about the disruption and destruction the Sizewell C construction site will bring to the immediate area. The potential loss of precious habitats and public footpaths alongside the increase in traffic, people and light will create an unsafe and unwelcoming atmosphere to the area. This of course will have an effect on businesses and leisure attractions such as the eels foot pub, RSPB Minsmere and Dunwich Heath including the coast guard cottages run by the National Trust. Noise is also a worrying factor, parts of Eastbridge will see increases of 600 ?mes current ambient levels and Leiston Old Abbey Care Home will have increases of 200 ?mes. Negative impact on roads and transport - Traffic disruption is major concern on the A12 and surrounding roads being over run with construction vehicles.
