Ta’ Frenc owner wants souvenir shop at Hondoq

Angelo Cefai, one of the owners of Ta’ Frenc Real Estate, has presented a planning application to convert an existing agricultural store in Hondoq ir-Rummien into a souvenir shop. 

The land in question is now fully owned by AAC Limited, a company owned by Ta’ Frenc Real Estate Limited.

While occupying the same area as the existing store (121m2) the application foresees a timber paving around the new shop as well as the “restoration” of a rubble wall, which will surround the building.

The agricultural store was granted an extension in 1994 when it had another owner.  The permit was issued against the advice of the case officer. 

A separate application has also been presented to enlarge an existing kiosk closer to the beach. The kiosk’s permit was renewed for another 10 years in April, stipulating that it can only be put up between 15 May and 15 October.
