MEPA turns down proposed residential building in Xemxija

The proposed building was to consist of eight apartments and a penthouse with underlying semi-basement garages.

The area, at the foot of Xemxija Hill is characterised by detached and semi-detached buildings and MEPA deemed the proposed building “an overdevelopment given the character and existing context of this residential area.”

MEPA approved the change of use of three retail outlets at The Point in Tigne into Class 6 catering outlets, as they were deemed to fall within the ‘Secondary Town Centre’ zoning and are adjacent to the open pjazza area of The Point.
