Timing

• Of crucial importance is the fact that the submission of the final scoping report was only published for comment in November 2002 with the Plan of Study for Scoping being submitted to DEA&DP on the 23rd December 2002. The rezoning application which ostensibly evolved as a result of technical input was submitted in August 2002 – some 5 months earlier.

• In addition cognisance needs to be taken of the dates on which the specialists reports were published:

• Environmental Impact Assessment – first draft completed April 2003

• Heritage Impact Assessment – completed March 2003

• Freshwater ecosystems – February 2003

• Tree study – March 2002

• Amphibian study – January 2003

• Traffic Impact Assessment – June 2002
