Quote:Natural England received 156 screening applications last year - almost twice as many as in 2010, reflecting the increasing interest in ploughing out grass. Four were required to do a full EIA and one full EIA was submitted,
which is still under consideration. "We have only ever had three EIA's submitted, and the first two were allowed to proceed," says Natural England.
156 screenings twice as many 2010 call it 70, put the trend to double this year 300 thats over 500 applications and I dont imagine thats for any plot of land less than 5 acres/ 2 hectares, So whats happening at the screening level? Is it a Dont be silly you cant go ahead or dont be silly you can go ahead and you dont need an EIA let alone an archaeologist to bleed the little CAP grabbing landowners.
Maybe should remind everybody that 2013 is CAP year when the EU starts reminding us that we must be selfsucificent in landowners particularly in the event of war and that we must stuff their faces with cash so that they can subsoil which they will do, when any five year agreement comes up, oh is that 2013.And when the landowners subsoil it makes the damage done by all TCPA development look like a knats fart.
