MEPA zones Naxxar site for villas
On Thursday, the Malta Environment and Planning Authority board approved an application to zone a 4,825 square-metre rural area in Naxxar for the development of two storey villas.
The vacant site fronting Triq id-Dejma was included in the 2006 extension of building zones, a decision which paved the way for development in the area.
Before development permits are issued in any areas included in the rationalisation, MEPA has to issue planning guidelines applying to each zone.
The inclusion of the site in development zones was subject to an archaeological study carried out by the Superintendence for Cultural Heritage, which found no features worthy of protection.
The site lies in the vicinity of the Tal-Wej's scheduled area where no development can take place.
The developer proposed a detached and semi-detached residential villa development with a building height limitation of two floors and an underlying basement.
Labour MP Roderick Galdes was the only board member to vote against this particular application.
