ITS – Visual Violence and Landmark Land Despoliation

By May 25, 2018August 12th, 2022No Comments

Flimkien ghal Ambjent Ahjar joins the thousands of worried residents in objecting to the db project in Pembroke.

“This is a proposal of unparalleled hideousness – a monstrous and overbearing development which will consign residents to the permanent shadows cast by the exageratedly massive buildings. The development will involve the building of a concrete barrier across the St George’s Bay basin blocking off all light and air for the locality. It is visual violence inflicted on the landscape.

Moreover there is a blatant breach of planning laws with the developers actually proposing a virtual road. We trust that the Planning Authority is not envisaging entertaining this surreal proposal of a virtual road. If so, the PA should give a virtual permit and not a real one.

After all, the developer is basing the acceptability of the project on the construction of a phantom tunnel which has not been assessed in this application. The emissions and traffic congestion created by this project will add to the nightmarish scenario caused by this project. The project is not acceptable in principle and design and will only serve as a landmark of land despoliation for private profit.”
