Revenge of the SDO

March 25th, 2011 · No Comments · Bermuda Politics

Can we please stop pretending that that the Tucker’s Point SDO is about saving tourism?  It’s about developing real estate.  It is about a very lucrative expansion of the Tucker’s Town enclave.

There has been a drought of information to justify abandoning the various conservation protections on the land.

Government today released a map of a “compromise” where some land will be excluded from the controversial SDO.  But confusingly, it omits the land that would still be developed.

So here are the two plans together, along with a Bernews link to a more detailed plan of the building sites.

A hotel expansion is not part of the new SDO.  Here’s my prediction:  this won’t be the last SDO (or request for a major variance in another form) from Tucker’s Point.
