Dear Examining authority I wish to object to the Scottish Power Renewables planning Application for the following reasons.: The siting of the substations at Friston will have a short & long term disastrous impact on our small village because of its huge footprint in relation to the size & close proximity to the village centre. Existing flooding issues in the village will only become much worse some properties will become unsaleable. Permanent & temporary closure of footpaths & byways will affect the quality of life of residents. Substantial dimunition of value of properties will cause economic hardships to a mostly retired community. Traffic problems of a scale hitherto not seen in this rural area will be horrendous. Tourism to this area to see wildlife for which their habitat will be removed/damaged will fall causing economic decline to the whole region. Light & noise pollution for which the area is famously free of will be gone forever. The planning process & site selection was flawed from the outset.
