East Suffolk Council is calling on EDF Energy to give them more details on their plans to move more freight by sea and rail while the proposed Sizewell C nuclear power station is built.
The council has submitted a response to EDF Energy following the latest community consultation.
The council says it welcomes the plan to move more freight by sea and rail during the sites construction but has raised concerns that there is not enough detail currently available
In particular, East Suffolk Council says it has increasing concerns with regards to noise and vibration impacts arising from overnight rail on the East Suffolk Line and does not feel it can properly assess the impact of a second beach landing facility without the necessary supporting environmental impact assessment
The council says it will continue to work with EDF Energy to make sure the right decisions are made with regards to freight deliveries to site that do not adversely impact on residents of East Suffolk and the coastline at Sizewell
We need to be confident that any proposals are appropriately mitigated and impacts are minimised. Our overriding priority is the best possible outcome for the communities of East Suffolk
