*The proposed development would irreversibly damage the environment in an area designated as a heritage coast and of outstanding natural beauty. This harm would be: 1.visual - namely to the look of what is a unique and tranquil landscape; 2. in terms of damage to the natural environment and habitat; 3. to the unspoilt character of the villages, by creating a vast and disproportionate infrastructure of buildings and roads that will put pressure on schools, health services and other local facilities; 4.in terms of noise levels and pollution, damaging the quality of the air because of the huge increase in vehicle and other emissions. *We owe it to future generations to preserve such a quiet, unspoilt area of natural and fragile beauty: once harmed, it can never be restored. Please, please consider other options, such as offshore hubs or ring mains. The proposals are being made without thought to the local community, to the many people who visit this part of Suffolk in search of peace and a break from busy, stressful lives and to our children. A wrong decision now, to destroy a precious natural asset, will reverberate down the generations.
