I wish to object to this scottish power renewables planning application for the following reasons The cumulative impact on local communitiies of up to 7 energy projects occurring consecutively over 12 to 15 years. The fragile Thorpeness cliffs are unsuitable for landing the cables. Use of the unspoilt countryside at Friston for substation complexes the size of wembly stadium this small village is already vulnerable to flooding. 11km cable trenches destroying environ mentally sensitive areas. The cable trenches and haul roads will be too c lose to residential homes. The suffolk coasts and heaths will be severed and the wildlife corridor causing problems for migrating birds Impact on tourism. Traffic congestion and related issues would deter tourists from coming tothe area. Permanent and temporary closure of public rights of way eg footpaths, bridleways, byways and cycle paths
