I wish to object to this Scottish Power Renewables planning application for the following reasons - - unsuitability and fragility of Thorpeness cliffs as site for landing cables. - huge long lines (11km!) of cable trenches destroying environmentally sensitive areas - promity of cable trenches and haul roads too close to residential homes - destroying parts of unspoilt Suffolk coastline and large amounts of AONB causing major damage and problems to nature - local roads unsuitable for the high traffic levels and more HagVs. This area is a cyclists paradise but even now the roads are narrow and just wide enough for two cars passing so not comfortable for a cyclist or a walker - light pollution and air pollution and noise pollution - detrimental effects on local businesses which need all the help they can get - as a member of ALDEBURGH Golf Club I often see the dangers of crossing Saxmundham Road by the club as it is at the moment. The proposals will only exacerbate the dangers to golfers and walkers along the public footpaths - I note the frequency of emergency services using the Saxmundham Road in and out of ALDEBURGH and this vital access must not be compromised for one moment
