Re: Julian Richards gives his view on the tunnel

Thanks for the non-confrontational chat ttj.

There's a view in some quarters that the future of the environment is important. If you agree with that view, then a generally agreed methodology for development is what's known as "Sustainable Development" (defined in the simplest terms by Brundtland and so on, but later significantly modified by Agenda 21, the Rio Declaration and so on). With Sustainable Development comes a gradual abandonment of those ways and parts of the past that are detrimental to the continued existence of our society.

If you agree with that viewpoint, then it is not unreasonable to ask how much value (or otherwise) this or that has to both us and to future generations. Value can then be compared against the options to see which option (for development) generates the most benefit. A consultation is then used to help identify issues that may not have been considered.
