Having grown up and raised a family living in the Suffolk and Cambridgeshire countryside i consider myself to have the relevant life experience and knowledge of what living in the countryside entails. 1. The Rural character and landscape especially the far reaching panoramic views entering and exiting Isleham from the East will be devastatingly lost for good. 2. This change will have a massive detrimental effect to my well being affecting my quality of life and that of the local population, I deliberately moved to an isolated rural location to enjoy wide open countryside and promote this way of life. 3. The disruption this project will cause to movement of traffic, commercial, local and personal during construction is unacceptable, it will increase local costs in time delays and additional diversion miles, the noise, dust and annoyance caused will be unacceptable. 5. This scheme if approved will create 'no go' areas of desirability for people to live in and have an effect on local property values for thousands of local people. 4. The loss of open countryside will have a massive impact on wildlife. The RSPB currently report that the most endangered bird species are those that rely on open farmland, this area is habitat to Brown Hare, Birds of prey feed on small mammals living alongside and in the project area including hunting areas for at least Tawny and Barn owl, there is a small coppice and a stream that are located in this area whose inhabitants rely on open land. 5. The project is piecemeal in its design geared for maximum profit to the final developer rather than an appropriate scale in an appropriate location, arable land in the heart of East Anglia farming community turning green site to brown field land is not acceptable. 6. Retention of quality irrigated food producing land for generations to come outweighs any creation of brown field sites for limited life energy production. 7. The carbon footprint of this project is disastrous, concrete, plastic and poisonous metals, pollution and emissions during the construction from abroad imports and installation do not offset benefit when combined with the other points.
