In a decision of October 7, 2021, the administrative court of Lyon cancels the environmental authorization issued to the company Argan for the operation of a logistics warehouse located in the town of Saint-Romain in Sarcey.
The court had been seized by two associations for the defense of the environment and a local resident. “Authorized works result in the destruction, alteration or degradation of breeding sites or resting places of thirty-two protected species, as well as the destruction and disturbance of seven protected species of reptiles and amphibians, including the Crested newt “, a recognized administrative tribunal.
The benefits put forward by society such as job creation, the reduction of greenhouse gases by limiting the travel time of goods and the general interest in the production of medicines, have not been sufficient for the judicial authority.
