Considerations related to water resources led the prefect of Hérault to issue an unfavorable opinion on Thursday, May 11 to a golf project with luxury housing near Montpellier. “In a context of early drought (…)the prefect requested in January 2023 an update of the file “, recalled the prefect, Hughes Moutouh, in a press release. Gold “it turns out that the changes envisaged (…) do not provide a tangible solution to the central issue of water supply”he continues.
The project on the Lavagnac estate provided for an eighteen-hole course, the development of which was entrusted to the Nicklaus Design company of the legendary American golfer Jack Nicklaus, as well as four hundred and ten apartments and villas with swimming pools. Due to global warming, “any old design project deserves to be re-examined in the light of the challenges we face”continues the representative of the State.
While France is once again facing the threat of historic drought at the start of summer, and several departments, mainly in the southern half of the country, have already imposed restrictions on the use of water, the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, announced at the end of March a “water sobriety plan” for all economic sectors, which nevertheless spares the agricultural sector, a major consumer.
