Really, well the start has not been so promising, imagine all the birds now with no nests !
Quite apart from not seemingly to be aware of the Biodivesity that was there!
The Dutchman is involved in film making and the Timothy Prime, well there seems to be a few of them, one being American and involved in planning permissions in USA.
So how this is going to be environmentally friendly I am not sure.
What is also clear is that they are not au fait with things as the mention of the environment division, who are preceeded by Development Control Authority in planning approval...greenwash me thinks

i don't think that is the same "prime" as i understand that he's been here for a while and possibly is from t&t originally.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
What commitment is the developer showing to develop an environmentally friendly project by ripping out the natural habitat and environment BEFORE an Environmental Impact Assessment is carried out.
Land in ecologically and environmentally sensitive areas should not under any circumstances be allowed to be cleared before official approval is granted. If this is not adhered to then a hefty fine and subsequent refusal of development across the island for the offenders as a penalty. Only then will this stop.
