I am concerned about the plans to place a wind farm in this area for the following reasons: I think the substation may ruin an area of natural beauty impacting on local residents and the tourist trade. I am not convinced that this is the best site to choose for this development I am terrified by the way that this application is happening alongside the plans to develop Sizewell C as well as more than one project of the National Grid. It appears that these different processes are taking place without joined up thinking and are likely to put severe strain on local services and local residents while they all pursue their different objectives independently. Please return to the drawing board and bring a plan that shows clearly how these projects have been thought about together and their cumulative impact lessened. I am also fearful of the impact of removing 30 acres of wildlife habitat (again at the same time as similar and greater impacts from other projects up the coast). These concerns have not been adequately addressed.
