- 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}
