I am worried about a number of aspects of this project. The increase in carbon emissions, over 6 million tonnes. The loss of woodland and hedgerows. Some of the woodlands to be destroyed are categorised as ancient. Following on from that the effect this will have on wildlife habitat. There is debate over whether the scheme will even solve the problem it has been designed to tackle and at huge cost of £10bn, the value for money is highly questionable. Impact on the local area during construction, the developers have already shown scant regard for the local area in not bothering to apply for planning permission for there compound at Stifford and having to apply retrospectively on numerous occasions. How can local residents have any confidence they will be respectful in future ?
