I am deeply concerned about the following: Heritage - Site Involves listed buildings, five 11 and two grade 11* Landscape - Will change the character of Friston, severely damage the landscape causing visual harm which cannot be mitigated. Destroy an area of open and deeply rural countryside and tranquility. Human Impact - The quality of life will be damaged by excessive noise and light pollution. By damaging the air quality will create health issues especially for the vulnerable, elderly and children. Financial loss to residents, loss of footpaths and visual viewpoints. Building roads to transport building materials across farmland and use of heavy duty vehicles will be very disruptive and polluting and cause traffic disruption in the area. Flood Risk - Increase of flood risk due to current village drainage infrastructure being inadequate. Onshore Ecology- Would involve the permanent removal of four badger sets, bat roosting sites and cause untold damage to birds and wildlife due to light and noise pollution. Tourism - I regularly visit this area to escape the noise and pollution of London where I live. The impact of this proposal will affect tourism due to all of the above and with the 18m high Harmonic filter leaving a permanent scar on the landscape.
