I am concerned about the IMPACT on the local environment including *Transport and the increase of traffic and access on inadequate roads, and the siting of the 2 park and ride facilities *the housing of the workforce , including the creation of a "campus" * the strain on local life, including medical resources, noise pollution, the degrading of Minsmere and other local sites designated as SSSI's, spoil heaps * the nature of the proposed coastal defence - I am not convinced it will be adequate, nor that the site is adequate for the scale of the proposed nuclear reactor. *the lack of a long term strategy for the storage of nuclear waste *loss of tourism, a significant income for local businesses *the involvement of China at a time of sensitive political relations *the competence of EDF to deliver a safe and functioning system in a reasonable time and at a proportionate cost, given their historical record of delays on their current projects at Flammaville, in Finland, and at Hinkley point * the proposed "R A B" as a way of financing the cost, and the burden on the taxpayer *the absence of a visualisation of the construction site * the lack of co-ordination with the other energy projects proposed for the area including substations for up to 8 wind farms:
