Suffolk County Council not happy with present plans for Sizewell nuclear power project

BBC 18th May 2021, Mitigating proposals for the proposed Sizewell C nuclear power plant were
“a disappointment”, a government Planning Inspectorate hearing was told.
Suffolk County Council told the four-day public hearing that it could not
support the project as it stood.

The council said it needed reassurances on
sea and rail transport options, and on how jobs and training could benefit
local people. The developer, EDF, has not responded yet to the comments
made so far.

Some 15 voices spoke at the Tuesday morning session, almost
all critical of either the power plant itself or EDF’s mitigation impact
proposals. Speaking for Suffolk County Council, Richard Rout said that
while it supported the project in principle, “the development as it stands
was currently a disappointment for many who may wish to support it”.
