Beware where this goes:
“AI objections undermine the whole rationale for public consultation as 'they know their areas best'
“But if all locals are doing is deciding they don’t like the scheme before AI analysis to find out *why* they don’t like it, is there any point in asking them at all?”

It's basically cutting important capital spending on an "infrastructure priority" (the housing stock) in order to reduce costs now
It's not like that's never failed before - see, for example, sewage in rivers, state of roads, electricity grid logjam etc
I'm sure other countries have examples too

The IMO was preparing to act on its climate emissions because international shipping sits outside the framework of emissions from countries governed by UNFCCC
The proposal - widely supported before US intimidation - was a carbon tax on CO2 emissions to subsidise the development of cleaner shipping

Many organisations like Chem Trust and FIDRA are calling for a ban on all PFAS. They're so persistent in the environment that by the time you find a problem, it's too late
Water companies and academics agree

As they've been used over a long time they can find their way into drinking water as rain leaches from landfill sites or firefighting training sites
2 of the most dangerous PFAS have been banned as World Health Org now considers them carcinogenic
But many PFAS are still being used
