I would like to object to Planning Application for the above project on the following grounds. There are multiple objections to be made in terms of dislocation within our parish, the cable routes, the siting of the substation at Friston and the dispoiling of the AONB and the landscape in general, but the main objection must be the sheer number of similar projects that are about to happen consequently in this tiny corner of East Anglia. There is seemingly no co-ordination among these schemes and this will almost lead to each following the last up the same cable route as soon as that ends. On top of this there is the constuction of a new nuclear power station at Sizewell, a part of our parish, which could take over a decade to build, and looks to be an expensive 'white elephant'. There must be a moratorium on all these seven projects until an integrated scheme can be developed. If this means an offshore ring main with one landfall, then Sizewell would seem an ideal spot, rather than constantly excavating the same space and ruining our natural environment. It is time for Government to get a grip on this.
