We live in Thorpeness about 100 metres from the sea. Much of what constitutes life around us must be said to be at a stage that is very vulnerable to change from dramatically increased external forces. - the cliffs are merely piles of sand, extremely fragile and retreating with every major storm. - the hinterland is a first base landing for migrant birds - a mass of feral trees and bushes - totally irreplaceable. -it's also very dry and extremely dusty in the summer. - the by-way surfaces are delicate mainly sand and shingle and subject to flooding in winter. - the tourist industry (walkers, cyclists, birdwatchers,) can best be described as "fledgling" although it probably employs around 50 -70 persons in Thorpeness. It's only been thriving for around 15 years. SPR and a further approximately six other firms are proposing quite simply to destroy this unique piece of paradise through the impact of their cumulative destructivity.
