PLH accused of ‘greenwashing amid environmental destruction’

“They don’t even know what they have destroyed and that is the awful thing about it,” remarked marine biologist John Mussington, as he recalled the apparent destruction of sand dunes and wildlife habitats at Palmetto Point, Barbuda.
Mussington is one of a number of Barbudans opposed to the environmental degradation that they say the Peace, Love and Happiness (PLH) development is likely to cause by constructing a golf course spanning hundreds of acres on protected land within the Codrington Lagoon National Park.
He claimed the developer is destroying turtle nesting sites, disturbing natural habitats and uprooting important plant species and organisms in order to build their luxury project.
Injunction against Barbuda’s PLH development lifted

It is the latest development in an ongoing dispute between the Barbuda Council and the international developers.
The Council filed an application for an injunction after the Development Control Authority (DCA) – on recommendation of the Department of Environment (DoE) – refused to issue a stop order, even after discovering violations that the developer had carried out in the protected area and after being prevented from entering the property as they believe is their legal right as local government.
On October 12020, the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (ECSC) granted an injunction against PLH preventing it from continuing construction activities in the area where the government agencies said it had destroyed sand dunes and historic vegetation, putting critical wetlands at risk.
