The Malta Environment and Planning Authority (MEPA) Board has approved planning permission for the construction of a new 87 room four star hotel with related catering facilities, open-air amenities and an underlying car park in Marsalforn, Gozo.
The new hotel which will be located at the bottom end of Triq ir-Rabat and is a stones throw away from the Entertainment Priority Area, and will provide the Gozitan tourism market with a quality accommodation development in accordance with the Height Limitation Adjustment Policy for Hotels, which was last updated and approved in 2014.
Besides the hotel accommodation facilities, the development will also include a water feature and a garden area at the rear of the hotel.
The Board imposed a planning gain of €10,000 which will be used to improve and upgrade other areas of Marsalforn.
Shame on them. I was told by a tourist that he felt like he was surrounded by prisons when he visited Malta for the first time. He said he had this feeling because of over development. Wake up and save the island’s beauty
You are right Eliza and how long will be the road occupied or closed ???
Is there a real need ? So many houses and flats are empty !
Think there is no need of another building..really many houses with no people living in.
Take care for the beauty of nature.
personal profit will always supercede commonsense and responsability
Yes and I speak the truth. The tourist who visited Malta for the first time was a very kind, respectful man and I felt bad that he had this experience because he was really looking forward to the trip. Being close to retirement, he was excited about visiting Malta for the first time. He was from the Mid West and told me that he felt confined because it felt like he was surrounded by prisons. I asked him why he felt this way and he responded that it was because of over construction. People should remember that once they construct over a beautiful landmark, they can never go back and get that breath taking scenery.
