Assessment cannot hide the flaws in priorities
THE Environmental Impact Assessment that Doric have now submitted (June 5) must be taken with a very large pinch of salt.
Having first tried to get out of doing one at all, they’ve now found an agency to argue that there would be ‘socio-economic benefits’ (highly dubious – and to whom? Not to those of us who live here...).
These are alleged to ‘outweigh any minor [!] adverse effects’ – which are objectively clear and have been precisely spelled out by the overwhelming majority of concerned local people.
The gigantic volume of the assessment cannot conceal its simple misrepresentation of the true priorities.
