Description

On 21 May 2012, an individual lodged a complaint with the EIB Complaints Mechanism (EIB-CM) concerning the construction of a sewage pumping station only few meters away from his house in Larnaca. In the complainant's view, the construction of the pumping station has significant hazardous environmental effects, which were disregarded in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) that was produced for the project in question. In particular, the complainant raised the following points: The EIA did not make reference to the existence of a residential area around the pumping station. The EIA described the site as a relatively remote area and as being at a greater distance than the surrounding developments; There was no mention in the EIA that the site is situated opposite two listed historical buildings; The EIA did not take into account the presence of a green area around the site marked by the presence of trees and indigenous plants; The decision to exclude one of the three proposed sites was not based on the environmental impact of the pumping station but on the possible higher cost for the execution of the work in that location; The plot ratio of the site being 1% of land coverage was not respected. Finally, the complainant asked the EIB-CM to investigate whether the actions of the LSDB infringed upon EU legislation and to request the promoter to stop any work on the site in question.
