This reveals damp sand slacks which develop particular vegetation ... and as that vegetation develops, it changes. So we have a timeline of what happens as sand dunes move. <br />Do go and read Trump EIA ... and I had a small archive of other Debra Storrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00709860197387717627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967945126715280855.post-82882987510518910232009-11-15T17:51:55.666+00:002009-11-15T17:51:55.666+00:00The Dunes do move every year, dependant on the win...The Dunes do move every year, dependant on the wind patterns. Dunes have been known to engulf whole villages and ruin societies in the past.<br />This is stabilisation of the dunes no more no less. This grass growing will only keep the dunes as our defence for many more years to come and this will stop the dunes taken over any more land.<br />The grass growing will bring new species to Balmedie N Frasernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967945126715280855.post-55979599575678637062009-11-15T17:29:35.162+00:002009-11-15T17:29:35.162+00:00Neil

A quick look at the before and after pictures from Trump shows what changes. OK it's not concreting the dunes over - but it is still destruction of the SSSI.Debra Storrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00709860197387717627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967945126715280855.post-34066252086325112382009-11-15T07:06:26.484+00:002009-11-15T07:06:26.484+00:00No huge hotel, no buildings.

This is grass growing for stabilisation purposes only. <br />Grass growing.<br />The one thing people forget is, this development will provide good access to Balmedie beach, the dunes will still be there and will not change.
