I object to the proposal on the following grounds: Its siting within the UK is entirely inappropriate The increase in traffic levels is unsustainable for the highways network in the area. The A47 is a key single lane route East/West and loading it with all this traffic is preposterous Its close proximity to one school, and proximity to many others is a risk The machinations and lengths to which the proposers have gone to avoid local planning review and local accountability are unacceptable The tower will dominate the town and landscape unreasonably In recent times a similar proposal just over the Norfolk border was correctly rejected, if it wasn't right for there, it isn't right for here. It is proposed for a Flood Level zone 3 risk which is inappropriate The pollution from the lorry movements will be awful and unfair on the local population The noise and light pollution from the site will be stressful for the local population It is proposed within the natural border of the town of Wisbech; siting infrastructure like this within residential areas is wrong. It represents an unnecessary elevated pollution risk in close proximity to residential areas
