MEPA approves Buskett Forest Aparthotel redevelopment

Email item Email item Print item Print item

The Malta Environment and Planning Authority (MEPA) Board said it has approved an outline development permit for the redevelopment of the Buskett Forest Aparthotel in the area known as Ta’ Sabbat limits of Buskett. The proposed redevelopment of this dilapidated building which was constructed in the early 70’s will have a smaller footprint than the existing building there is today.

The outline permit explicitly restricts the applicant from sprawling outside the existing built up area, cannot have multi-ownership and must maintain the existing height limitation.

The application, which falls outside the Natura 2000 and bird sanctuary boundaries, was rigorously screened and assessed by the Environment Protection Directorate in terms of the EU Habitats Directive and the EIA Regulations.

      Hopefully the permit also calls for the removal of that hideous green paint.
