I wish to object to this Scottish Power Renewables application for the following reasons: - Cumulative impact on local communities of up to 7 projects occurring consecutively over 12-15 years. - Unsuitability and fragility of Thorpeness Cliffs as site for landing cables. - Use of unspoilt countryside at Friston for substation complexes the size of Wembley Stadium. - Substations dangerously close and dominating a small village liable to flooding. - 11Km of cable trenches, destroying environmentally sensitive areas - Cable trenches and haul roads too close to residential homes. - Threat to wildlife, destruction of ancient woodland, and Sandlings Heath. - Light pollution in Suffolk's dark sky areas - Noise pollution, from work too near residential areas. - Air pollution from traffic and trench digging. - Increased traffic on roads not suitable for heavy traffic. - Closure and possible loss of long established footpaths and byways.
