Abstract: | This non-technical summary highlights the findings of the Addendum to the Environmental
Impact Assessment of the proposed development of a Transit Hotel and Luxury Villas on the
island of Finolhas in Baa Atoll by Coastline Hotels and Resorts Pvt Ltd. The proponent has
brought changes to the concept plan, based on which the EIA the EIA for the project was
developed. The EIA report was submitted and approved on 21st January 2013. A revised concept
plan has been approved and a conditional development approval by the Ministry of Tourism,
Arts and Culture has been provided, conditional to environmental clearance by EPA.
The changes proposed to the concept are;
Change in location of the Swimming Pool and Public Area
Change in type, location and number of 1 Bed Beach Houses on Western side of
island (revised to be Lagoon Houses)
Change in numbers of Tree Houses, Beach Houses on Northeastern side and Ocean
Houses
Development of a Marine Bio Center at the Service Jetty Area (previously proposed to
develop an Overwater Cinema)
These changes are fully discussed in Section 4 of the report, while impacts and monitoring
required are discussed in Sections 5 and 6.
While the proposed changes to the concept range from minor to moderate (few cases), the
environmental footprint of the proposed changes are anticipated as low. Hence no additional
impacts are expected to occur due to the changes to the concept plan. Therefore, it is concluded
that the mitigation and monitoring proposed in the EIA for this development is more than
sufficient to address these requirements of the project. |
