Answer preview

Sometime it is hard to identify the external parties that emerge as indirect stakeholders of a project thus influencing the execution and the outcome of the project. Large scale project intrude into communities or generally affect the environment thus changing the activity of the area. The general experience in this aspect indicates that siting of facilities that manage waste disposal, energy production and transport infrastructure is highly capricious thus often give rise to conflicts between citizens, parliament, municipalities, public agencies and environment organization just like in the case study of Off Shore Wind Farm.
