It’s about to become a little confusing when it comes to where we are in the process, which regards preserving surfing at Middles.

The first public phase has come to an end. Because of a lot of protests, among others organization Save Middles, Viborg County has decided to extend the case.

Viborg County should decide whether the project should be continued or not.

With the impressions from the first public phase, the County council can choose to continue the planning. When they do so, a proposal for regional planning should be worked out. This should be made public in a new public phase, which will take at least 8 weeks.

In such a case the regional planning comes with an EIA (environmental impact assessment). Such an assessment should be worked out and made public simultaneous with the proposal for regional planning. It usually takes 4 – 6 months to create an EIA.

After another public phase, the County council will decide whether they wish to finally approve the regional planning. Does the County council finally approve the regional planning, it will be executed immediately. The final approval should be published publicly.

In other words; There’s a long way to go again.
