SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 25 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The vice-president of the Cabildo de Tenerife, Lope Afonso (PP), has supported the development of the motor circuit in Granadilla, affirming the “comprehensive preservation” of the ecosystem, as new natural species and archaeological artefacts have been discovered that warrant protection.
During a press briefing to announce the decisions of the Governing Council, he noted that these discoveries were made by the company itself, which recently commenced the perimeter work on the site, and that they have been communicated to the relevant authorities with sectorial competence to determine whether a modification to the environmental impact assessment is necessary.
Consequently, after the information has been submitted, it will be the responsibility of the environmental authority to decide on any potential amendments.
“The primary objective being pursued without a doubt is to ensure that development aligns with the safeguarding of the natural environment and archaeological heritage of the circuit, that is, with a holistic approach to comprehensive protection that was previously addressed during the initial processing but is now under review due to the emergence of new findings,” he emphasised.
