A brazen abuse of the planning system (1)

Abstract

The proposed development of the ITS site at St George’s Bay has raised the concerns of many and for good reason. People living in the area are worried that the development will have a negative effect on their quality of life not only during construction but also upon completion. This should also be a concern to other users of the area including tourists, workers and people who go to Paceville. Increased level of traffic congestion, increased pollution, significant shadowing effects and the eyesore of a disproportionately large development will affect all, and not just Pembroke residents. The writer gives planning arguments why the application for development at the ITS site at St George’s Bay should be refused. This is the first of a two part contribution on the subject.
