General [SMLP- Tourism A Cefai Dr Cefai proposes that a new policy

especially ecotourism which states
that MEPA will favourably consider
the development of new tourist
projects in the country side ODZ
particularly those connected with
eco-tourism and particularly those
that utlize the least amount of built-
up structures.
General [SMLP- Social and A Cefai Dr Cefai proposes that a new policy
148] Community be added regarding Private Schools
The SMLP identifies the
criteria for Changes to the
Limits to Development in
policy SMSE 01. Policies
with regard to Rural
settlements also identify
what type of development is
permitted within these
settlements and under what
criteria.
Structure Plan policy SET
12 provides the framework
with regard to development
that has to be located ODZ.
Specific policies in the
SMLP refer to permitted
development ODZ subject
to the criteria indicated in
the respective policies e.g.
SMTO 01, SMRE 01, SMIA
09. IND 9 in the Structure
Plan also provides for the
relocation of obnoxious
industries.

development of tourism

148] Tourism be added regarding Camping Areas
which states that MEPA will
encourage development of camping
ares ODZ provided that any
permanent bult structures shall not
exceed a footprint of 150sqm.
General [SMLP- Development A Cefai Dr Cefai proposes that a new policy
148] ODZ be added regarding large projects
which states that application for
larger projects that create new jobs
whether ODZ or in scheme will be
decided by MEPA on its own merits.
General [SMLP- Development of A Cefai Dr Cefai proposes that a new policy
with regard to the location
of new schools ODZ.
However, it is not MEPA’s
remit to indicate the number
of schools required as this
is the prerogative of the
FTS with regard to public
schools and in the case of
private schools this
generally depends on
market demand and other
market related variables.
SET 12 of the Structure
Plan provides for such
requirements. However,
policy SMSO 01 has been
amended to include criteria
for the location of Health
related facilities which
cannot be located within the

Boundary, particularly
hospitals since health
centres and clinics can be
located within the Limits to

SMTO 03 refers specifically
to camp sites and states
that any buildings should be
limited to toilets and
communal facilities.
This is more of a structure
plan issue rather than a
local plan issue. However,
this is already being done,
especially in those cases
where development briefs
are prepared specifically for

This policy aims to

in terms of the living

Zabbar are two areas
where such interventions
are called for.
Zebbug has been retained

Upgrading it to a Town

higher traffic generation.
The aim of town centres is
to encourage commercial

other uses that may be

General [SMLP- SMCM 04 Din l-Art Helwa 16/08/05 It is not clear to DLH whether this

great reservation on this policy as it
would lead to a further build up of
the country side.
Visual mitigation should not be the
only criterion. DLH feels that also
the impact on the sky line should be
taken into consideration. In many
instances this impact may be
unacceptable even with mitigation
measures.
DLH also points out that planning

MEPA jinhtieg tizgura li tpatti ghal

SMMS 06 tipproponi li l-green area

Forsi jkun ahjar li jsir rock garden

bir-riha aromatika taghhom, kif ukoll
sistema ta’ floodlighting sottili u

Hu sewwa li l-affarijiet ikunu cari

mhux biss ghall-ufficjali ta’ Mepa
izda wkoll ghall-pubbliku interessat
jara li ebda zvilupp jew hsara ma
ssir f’siti u bini elenkati f’lista bhal
din. Hawn wiehed jistaqsi kif,
minkejja l-Heritage Advisory Board ,
it-Torri ta’ Gomu thalla jiddawar bil-
bini u mod li spicca ma jidher kwazi
minn imkien. Litteralment thalla
jindifen mill-ispekolaturi meta kien
jixraqlu ahjar.

Mepa hija mistennija li tikkontrolla l-

permessi li johorgu ghal-bini bl-
iskop li aktar milli nibqghu nibnu
bliet nibdew nizviluppaw
komunitajiet. Sabiex dan il-pjan
isehh hu propost li Mepa tohloq
Green Belt madwar il-konfini tal-
lokalita’ filwaqt li tddidentifika l- art
agrikolu, il- kampanja, timmappja
moghdijiet u tidentifika spazji li
jistghu jservu ta’ rikrejazzjoni
pubblika. Hu floku li wiehed
jipproponi li f’dan il-Green Belt jigi
zviluppat Model Village li jkun
jinkludi facilitajiet rikrejattivi u
attrazzjoni ghall- familja kollha.
81
 Hu propost li l-Istrategic Open
Gaps li jaqghu fil-konfini ta’
Marsaskala ghandhom ikunu
protetti u ghaldaqstant SMCO 10
ghandha tkun tapplika fil-kaz
taghhom ukoll.

Filwaqt li permezz ta’ din il-

proposta jigi ikkontrollat l-urban
sprawl, ikun qed isir ukoll l-ahjar
uzu ta’ l-art extra-urbana li tista’
tkun riservata ghal skop rikrejattiv
minbarra dak agrikolu.

Il-possibilita’ ta’ zvilupp ta’

attrazzjoni kummercjali u rikrejattiva
bhal ma hi fun-karting track
ghandha tigi kkonsidrata. Jekk din
issir fuq mudell ta’ ohrajn li hemm
f’pajjizi barranin (ara www.fun-
karting.com), ghandha tkun
komplimentari ma’ l-ambjent
naturali permezz ta’ landscaping,
thawwil ta’ sigar u oqsma ta’ truf.
Marsascala Social Housing Alfred Agius Kif diga’ gie indikat, il-prezz ta’ l-art This has been identified
[SMLP-477] sar wiehed proibittiv filwaqt li ghall- within other localities, but in
l-propjeta’ qed jintalbu prezzijiet Marsascala most of the

propjeta’. Dan il-fatt qed igib
problema ghal koppji, specjalment li
huma mill-lokalita’. Ghaldaqstant
MEPA hija mistennija tidentifika siti
vakanti urbani li huma propjeta’ tal-
Joint Office/ohrajn sabiex jaqdu l-
htigijiet ta’ Social Housing.
Certament m’ghandux isir l-izball li
sar meta mbena l-Estate ta’ Zonqor
li tista’ tghid ma’ thalli fih ebda
spazju urban u wisq anqas ma sar
provediment ghal hwienet biex
jaqdu l-htiegijiet tar-residenti.
82
 Dan l-ahhar nuqqas jista’ jigi
rrimedjat jekk Mepa tahseb biex
tirriserva sit li fih dan l-Estate jista’
jkollu fih numru ta’ hwienet u
facilitajiet ghal komunita. Sit vakanti
f’Hurd Bank ghandu jigi ikkonsidrat
ghal dan il-ghan.

jwessghu l-karattru ta’ lokalita’
residenzjali u turistika.

Restrizzjonijiet zejda fuq l-

estensjoni taz-zona Turistika u ta’
Entertainment u l-iskuza li minn

Paceville/Bugibba’Qawra ikunu qed
jaqtghu l-lokalita mil-lista ta’zoni
turistici f’pajjizna. Jekk MEPA
tinsisti fuq din il-pozizzjoni allura
ghandha tipproponi progetti li jigbdu
l-familji minbarra li jkunu attrazzjoni
unika ghat-turisti – bhal ma kellu
jkun il-progett ta’ l-Aquarium li kellu
jsir banda ohra fi gziritna id li issa
jidher li gie abbandunat.
Marsascala Marina Alfred Agius Dan id-Draft Document jaghmel The policy identifies an
[SMLP-477] referenza ghal proposta ta’ Yacht area but the exact siting will
Marina minghajr ma jkun site be subject to appropriate
specific. Anqas ma jindika r-raguni stidy. The policy states that
li ghaliha din il-Yacht Marina qed this site was considered in
tkun proposta. Certament mhux the Yachting Subjet Study
but was dimissed for
83
ekonomikament vijabbli li din issir
biex taqdi biss sidien ta’ opri lokali.
Kull ma dawn ghandhom bzonn hi
sistema ta’ irmiggi aktar organizzata
fil-Bajja u lqugh ahjar mill-bahar li
kultant jtalla opri sa’ fuq ix-Xatt.
Kif inhi l-Bajja llum bl-irmiggi mill-

swimming zones popolari hafna ma’
l-ghawwiema fuq iz- zewg nahat tal-
Bajja hi wahda li m’ghandiex
timbidel. Dan minbarra li hemm
ukoll il-Pitch tal-Waterpolo u trawler
tas-sajjieda li jkun jinhtieglu jidhol

jghabbi u jnizzel l-irkabtu tas-
sajjieda.
but was dimissed for
technical reason.
Appropriate detailed studies
will determine the feasibility
or otherwise of such a
proposal. The coastal
configuration of the bay and
existing maritime activity
indicate that this locality
can be a candidate site for
such use, subject to
adequate studies.Il-Ponta
tal-Mignuna is not identified
for a yacht marina.

Jekk il-Gvern ikompli bil-proposta

tieghu ghal id an te pubbliku bil-
bahar lejn il-Belt, jista’ jkun ukoll is-
servizz jinkludi dak minn
Marsaskala u ghalhekk ghandna
nahsbu ghal dan.
Jekk Mepa tinsisti bil-proposta ta’
Yacht Marina, dan m’ghandux isir la
fil-Bajja ta’ Marsaskala u wisq
anqas f’dik ta’ San Tumas.
Para. 13.8 ta’ l-Explanatory
Memorandum ghall-Istructure Plan,
jiddefenixxi l-kategoriji ta’ Yachting
Resources. Fil-kuntest ta’ dawn u l-
htigijiet tal-pajjiz l-ghazla ghandha
tmur jew ghal, “ Mooring Harbour;
jew ghal dik ta’ “ Convenience
Harbour: en route stopover point
with limited moorage, facilities
usually at or near a town or village
for obtaining supplies.”

Hawn qed issir proposta sabiex

84
 jigu kkonsidrati l-inhawi tal-Ponta
tal-Mignuna.

Dan hu sit meraviljuz ghal-Marina

immirata ghal yachts barranin.
Ghandu sbuhija naturali li
thabbatha ma’ postijiet ohra fil-
mediterran u kapacita’ li jiehu
numru kondiderevoli ta’
irmiggi/pontoons.L-ilqugh
m’ghandux isir bil-blokki tal-konkos
izda tizamm dehra naturali simili
ghal dik ta’ Porto Rotondo
f’Sardinja – Marina imfittxija minn
sidien ta’ yachts lussuzi.
Irid jinghad li hemm ragunijiet biex
wiehed jikkonkludi li l-Bajja ta’
Marsaskala u dik ta’ San Tumas
kienu jintuzaw minn bahhara fl-
eqdem zminijiet u ghaldaqstant
ghandhom jitqiesu siti sensittivi u
ma jsirx dredging minghajr ma jsiru
qabel is-surveys preliminarji. Fis-sit
tal-Vajrita hemm fdalijiet ta’ vapurett
ruman li minnu ttallghu xi platti tal-
fuhhar u anfori. Mhux l-ewwel barba
li sajjieda ltaqghu ma’ ankri rumani.
Marsascala Zonqor Point sa Alfred Agius SMMS 05 – tipproponi li t-triq SMIA 13 proposes the area
[SMLP-477] Xghajra progettata li tghaqqad Zonqor Point to be designated as a
max-Xghajra tigi mhassra. Ghandu National park.
jkun hemm proposta ta’ zvilupp
alternattiv ghal din iz-zona/triq u
dan ghal hafna ragunijiet.
Irid jinghad li minkejja li SMLP Draft
Document jirrikonoxxi z-zona bhala
wahda ta’ Importanza Ekologika,
din xorta wahda kienet giet
identifikata mill-Gvern bhala wahda
minn sitt siti li jistghu jigu zviluppati
f’Landfills. U dan minkejja wkoll li s-
sit jinsab qrib hafna ta’ Zonqor
Housing Estate.

85
Ghaldaqstant, fil-kuntest ta’ dan
kollu, SMMS 05 m’ghandux
jipproponi li t-triq Zonqor Point –
Xghajra ma ssirx u jieqaf hemm.

Il-Proposta ghal din iz-zona, li

tinkludi l-coastal slopes ( ara Intro,
SMLP Draft Doc.), hi li din ghandha
tigi zviluppata f’ Park Naturali u
Rikrejattiv b’management mill-
NGO/s u Dipartiment interessati. Il-
participazzjoni tal-privat jista’ jkun
hemm spazju ghalih wkoll.

Il-Progett jista’ jkollu ukoll l-

partecipazzjoni ta’ Mepa permezz
ta’ l-Environment Initiative
Partnership Programme kif ukoll il-
possibilita’ ta’ twinning ma’ parks
naturali barranin.

Dejjem jekk din il-proposta tintlaqa’

fid-Dokument Finali, ghandha tigi
irtirata l-proposta li l-inhawi ta’
Zonqor Point ( ara SMTO 03) jigu
kkonsidrati ghal-Caravan u Touring
Caravan Site ghax dan johloq
pressjoni fuq sit li hi meqjusa bhala
wiehed ta’ Importanza Xjentifika u
Ekologika. Mhux biss, izda dan
ukoll fih Strutturi ta’ Difiza li jinkludu
Coastal Towers, WW 11 Heritage,
sistema ta’ entrenchments ta’ zmien
il- Kavallieri(1761-1763), possibilita’
ta’ xi fougasse, kif ukoll salini. (ara
Site Search Criteria, F.14, SMLP
Public Consultation Draft
Document).

Fil-kuntest ta’ dan kollu jrid jinghad

li minn issa Mepa ghandha tiehu
86
azzjoni kontra kull zvillup illegali li
sar u qieghed isir f’din iz-zona ta’
importanza xjentifika u Ekologika kif
ukoll tara kif tista’ tikkontrolla r-rimi
ta’ skart bla razan li qieghed isir fih.

Policy REC 6 li tirrakomanda AFM

Firing Range f’sit li jigi taht il-
Fortizza ta’ San Leonardo ghandha
tigi irtirata, ikunu x’ikunu l-
intenzjonijiet ta’ l-AFM.

Policy REC 9 li tinsisti ghat-

tnehhija ta’ kull ‘ unsightly
structures on coastlines or adjacent
areas ‘ ghandha tigi applikata f’din
iz-zona ghar-ragunijiet imsemmija
hawn fuq.

Irid jinghad li malajr kemm jista’

jkun jitnehha l-irdim li ntafa’ meta
kien id an -hsieb li ssir it-triq li
tghaqqad Zonqor Point max-
Xghajra u l-blat jikixef ghall-istat
naturali tieghu.

Fil-process ghandha tibda ssir

ukoll ir-rijabilitazzjoni tal-hitan tas-
sejjiegh u l-moghdijiet sabiex qabel
kull haga ohra z-zona tikseb lura l-
istat naturali taghha.

Il-Gvern qed jikkonsidra li f’pajjizna

jibni gzejjer artificjali u dan,
minhabba l-ispejjes involuti, b’ghan
kummercjali u ta’ qliegh ghan-
nazzjon. Jekk dan il-pjan jintlahaq,
min jidhol ghal zvilupp bhal dan
ghandu jigi marbut li jibni
gzirz/gzejjer ekologici f’din iz-zona
u li ghandha tattira mil-gdid il-hajja (
ghasafar, etc) li s’issa aktar
87
 ikkontribwejna ghal qirda taghha
milli biex nikkonservawha. L-Inhawi

Biex dan isehh, irid jithejja Pjan

komprensiv li filwaqt li jwassal ghal
upgrading ta’ din iz-zona jara wkoll
li jizviluppa il- facilitajiet rikejattivi
fuq livell internazzjonali.

Ghalhekk hi flokha Policy SMMS

08 li tipproponi Action Plan ghas-St.
Thomas Bay Coast Recreational
Area.

Fil-kuntest ta’ din il- proposta ikunu

flokhom dawn il-konsiderazzjonijiet.
Il-Bajja ta’ S. Tumas jista’ jkollha
Beach Replenishment b’kuncett
ghal kollox differenti milli sar s’issa
f’pajjizna u li jkun kompattibbli
hafna ma’ l-ambjent naturali u l-
inhawi tal-Munxar. L-MTA ghandha
tghati s-sehem taghha sabiex l-
Action Plan tilhaq l-aspirazzjonijiet
u l-potenzjal li din iz-zona ghandha
x’toffri biex jintlahaq livell ta’ zvilupp
li jikkumplimenta l-ambjent naturali
ma’ dak turistiku u rikrejattiv.
F’nahat ohra tad-Draft Document
tas-SMLP, Mepa pproponiet
upgrading ta’ xi Gonna Pubblici.
(Ara SMPA 07, re Gnien Ghaddafi,
Pawla). Jekk hawn gonna pubblici li
88
 jinhtiegu upgrading, certament il-
Gnien tal-Bajja ta’ S. Tumas hu
wiehed minnhom. Ghalhekk din
ghandha titqies u tittiehed bhala
proposta biex dan l-upgrading naslu
biex narawh.

Il-Promenade tinhtieg zvilupp

krejattiv u t-theddida mill-erosion
jinhtieg indirizzata. Hu propost li
ghandu jigi studjat kif l-area tal-
beachrooms ezistenti tigi upgraded,
kemm f’dak li hu strutturi kif ukoll
f’dak li hu access, facilitajiet u
landscaping.

Ma’ dan l-izvilupp ghandha tigi

Camping u Caravan Site ta’ livell
internazzjonali, b’facilitajiet igenici ,
rikrejattivi u li jinkludu ukoll
attrazzjonijiet.

Ghandu jigi studjat mod kif din iz-

zona tista’ tigi rijabilitata mid-dehra
li ghandha ta’ Shanty Town bi
ftehim mas-sidien u li jixbah dak li l-
Gvern innegozja mas-sidien tal-
Boathouses ta’ l-Armier.

Afforestation Project li fost l-ohrajn

jinkludi picnic areas,
spazji/facilitajiet ghal-rikrejazzjoni fl-
l-arja aperta u protezzjoni mix-xemx
ghandu jigi kkonsidrat. Ta’ min
isemmi l-Vacant Site li hemm hdejn
il-Gnien ta’ San Tumas u li ghadha
fi stat imharbat u naturali(?). Hu
tajjeb id an is-sit jigi identifikat l-
uzu li ghandu jsir minnu, certament
mhux Car Park kif qed isir bhal issa
izda open space bi skop rikrejattiv.

 not recommended to pedestrianise
this alley as it is wide enough and
solves part of the parking problem
of the area.
(3) - Triq it-Torri – pedestrianisation
of this street would cause problems
since it is the only access to a
number of other streets which
presently cannot be serviced not
even by ambulances etc.
(4) - Triq il-Kbira – it is to be noted
that in Alley 4 there are a number of
garages.
(5) - Triq id-Dejqa – it is not
recommended that this street be
pedestrianised since it serves as an
outflow of light vehicular traffic from
Misrah Santa Marija.
(6) - Triq il-Knisja/Sqaq il-Knisja – it
is being suggested that the part of
Triq il-Knsija from Triq Rokku
Buhagiar to the council’s
office/police station is not
pedestrianised.
(7) - Triq Lourdes – in this
street/alley there are a number of
garages.
(8) - Triq Bali Guarena – alley no 1
is wide enough and alleviates
parking problems of the area. In
alley 3 there is a number of
garages. Furthermore this alley will

been indicated as a green area
since 1970, government has never
expropriated it. It has been left in a
disused state and serves as a
rubbish dump. A year ago, the
applicant was informed by the
Public Works Department that they
are not interested in this land and
that if it was expropriated, they
would have consented to its
release. Similarly, the Zabbar Local
Council cannot make use of it
lacking the funds for its acquisition.
The site is hardly suitable to be
utilized as a playground or public
space since:
(i) it is situated on the edge
of Zabbar and not centrally
situated,
(ii) it is situated alongside a
major arterial road,
representing danger to
children using its facilities,
(iii) this part of Zabbar is well
ventilated by the existence of
the rather wide M’Scala by-

(iv) None of the authorities
normally involved in the

The objection is also based on the
fact that several similar areas in

Attard, have been developed.
The site is not a garden, but a field

fragmentation of the owners’ land
with the imposition of a street layout
that completely ignores the
relationship between the old
winding streets and alleys and the
more formally laid out streets of the
newer areas. The proposed zoning
results in inefficient use of land.
Moreover, the Public Open space
will be located in an area where it is
completely surrounded by

backyards to other properties –
indeed it appears to encompass
some of these. This would not
create the right environment for a
space of this sort, which should
incorporate a sense of openness
and ideally also pleasant views. The
site is a transition zone. A
pedestrianised development could
be included that would link the old
part to the new development to the
East without the need to alter the
proposed road layout. Such a
development could incorporate
small open spaces and features
typical to local villages along the
pedestrian route. Vehicular access
would be restricted to the already
projected road to the East of the
land in question. This arrangement
would allow the construction of
underground car parking to satisfy
requirements of the whole
development. Vehicles would not
enter the site itself. The whole of
the area could be planned and
developed holistically rather than on
a piecemeal basis.

The client is proposing to go

through a planning exercise in
conjunction with the local plan unit
to modify the proposed zoning to
ensure a more efficient and
attractive urban layout. The
development of a master plan for
such a site involves substantial
urban planning exercise. It should
therefore be clear that further
submission would follow this first
official objection, which submission
might be inserted following the
closing date of the public
consultation period.

Zurrieq Change in Carmel 27/05/05 Request to reintroduce a road as
[18PCS04] alignment Ellul was issued in the past regulatory
schemes. There was no logical
reason why this road should have
not been confirmed to give access
for residential development to the
site. The applicant asks that the
road be slightly displaced so that
their land would have a street
frontage, giving up part of their land
for public use (street) and resulting
in an increased building area for the
properties on the other side of the
street. This suggestion would
increase the population density
within the urban zones rather than
consume further zones outside the
development limits.

Zurrieq [SMLP- Change in Francis Bonnici Edwin 21/06/05 Request to rezone part of green
101] zoning Mintoff area located at Triq San Martin and
Triq Zimmermann Barbaro for
residential development. The area
could not be identified.
The replanning was carried
out in the early 90s and a
zoning was given to this
site. However, the field is
enclosed by developable
land and has no frontage.
Changing alignments might
affect third parties. The plan
does not propose any
changes. Applicant may
submit a PC application
since this suggestion would
affect third parties and
would require their consent.
Policy SMZU 01 has been
redrafted allowing the
development of parts of the
site, although these still
would require the
submission of a
comprehensive
development for each of the
specific sites.
Green areas are to be

negatively the client since property
extends up to the previous
boundary.
o Object to the zoning of part of
area as an open space, since it has
never been indicated as such. The
previous TPS indicate it as a white
area. Extending an open space up
to a few metres from Vjal l-
Indipendenza does not make
planning sense, particularly the
area north of the proposed
pedestrian pathway. Request to
zone this area for residential
development.
o The proposed pedestrian
pathway from Triq il-Kuncizzjoni
and currently ending in client’s
property without leading to
anywhere in particular is currently
covered by a valid building permit.
Owners can thus commence
building and remove this
connection altogether. However,
the proposed layout is taking into
consideration all the urban design
aspects possible. Owners are
ready to forfeit their development
174
 rights to improve the quality of their
development. Both the piazza and
path have been included in the
current proposal along with a
number of features which will
enhance the urban spaces and
vistas through the development.
o The line separating the
development zone and the area
under policy SMZU 01 should not
be interpreted as a straight line.
Same applies for the condition that
no apertures are allowed at ground
floor. For the sake of better design,
including better facades
overlooking the proposed CDA, the
processing of the current planning
application should dictate the exact
boundary, based on discussions
with Development Control and
Local Planning Unit.
o Owners would like to ensure that
their giving up of their development
rights vis-à-vis a number of areas
for pedestrianisation and the
consequent loss of amenity once
that Triq il-Passju is used as a link
to the rest of the CDA is
acknowledged in some way and
compensated.
The site offers a unique opportunity
to develop an area having proposed
internal, car-free, open spaces,
landscaped passageways and
piazzas along with urban furniture
and features.

With reference to previous

correspondence, a new proposed
layout is being proposed. The
proposed layout deletes the
previously included piazza, the
rezoning of green areas for
development and the elongation of

also due to the limited maximum
allocation of 30% for residential
use, which is deemed too low. If
one compares this percentage with
similar comprehensive
development, the difference is
considerable.
Whilst there is no objection to a
wholistic plan, the link of this land to
other owners is not deemed as
beneficial since it will be very
difficult to reach a compromise.
Similar situations in the M’Xlokk
Bay Local Plan did not succeed.
The SMLP also includes a proposal
suggesting ways of overcoming the
problems caused by having more
than one land owner since the
proposed solution did not include
the financial loss imposed due to
capital gains etc.
MEPA did not include the FAR
principle in this site, which would on
a large scale result in a highly

resulted in a sculptured built up

The SMLP proposal is not
beneficial, since the area would
remain undeveloped, thus failing on
this issue.
