I am concerned about the impact on local communities of the large number of energy projects occurring over 12 - 15 years. Unspoilt countryside will be destroyed to construct the substations which are dangerously close to and will dominate a small village. The cable trenches will adversely affect an environmentally sensitive area and threaten wildlife in an AONB, ancient woodland will be destroyed. The road network in the area is totally unsuitable for the volume and scale of traffic which will be required. This area of Suffolk is valued for its relative lack of light and noise pollution which will be adversely affected. The local economy depends to a large extent on tourism which will be badly affected by all of the above.
