Very close to the town centre. Roads, including the A47, will struggle to cope with the extra very heavy traffic involved. The area gets extremely busy with traffic in summer and at bank holidays as there are only 2 roads for traffic from the North and the West to get to the Norfolk coast, both which converge only a few miles away at King's Lynn. Plant is being built very close to a large school. Where is the waste ash produced to be disposed? Will the ash be removed by even more lorries than the proposed 300 a day bringing waste into the site? The proposal was rejected by Norfolk so why is it a good idea to move it a few miles into Cambridgeshire? In an area as flat as Fenland this plant and particularly the chimney will be an eyesore for many miles around
