- general ideas taken from the readings:
- EIA often done too late, so only options are mitigation or
acceptance
- economic benefits often outweigh environmental damages in
decision-makers' eyes. This could be avoided with a limits-based
approach / SEA.
- councils may simply be too busy or understaffed to properly
evaluate an application, especially when it is a complex
application.
----------------------------------------
- according to survey (section 2.8)\parencite{ME1069}, number of
pre-hearing meetings (for notified applications) went down; also the
number of successful pre-hearing meetings went down.
- upward trend: number of objections against consent decisions (see
section 2.10)\parencite{ME1069}
- side agreements: applicants can buy consent by paying directly
affected people, incurring poor environmental outcomes for the
community or future generations. \parencite{PCE1998}
- wider example may be the golden link mine where the applicant
promised to do unrelated work for the community to secure approval
