The people behind the large holiday home project Raunonia in Ringkøbing have withdrawn their application with the Coastal Authority.

According to architect and idea man Bo Christensen, Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality has not promised to continue working on the project if the Coastal Authority approves it.

Therefore, there is no reason to continue with the project at this time, says he

- There is no reason for either us or the Coastal Authority to spend time on something that the council may not even want.

Mayor Hans Østergaard (V) wonders about the decision and explains that he very carefully wants to use resources on a holiday island at Ringkøbing Harbor, if the Coastal Authority still does not want to approve the filling in of the fjord, which is required to establish 216 holiday homes.

- Let us now just hear from the Coastal Authority, if this is a possibility, before we spend a sea of resources on working to move forward with it.

The argumentation does not convince Bo Christensen.

- But then I can say that now one has played the ball down to the Coastal Authority and said that they should spend a lot of time on something that the council has not decided. So one can turn it around.

The Raunonia people plan to send another application to the Coastal Authority when they know if the new council will continue with the planning.
