The reason given by the Planning Authority for granting planning permission for the sanctioning of excavation works and development of swimming pools in Qala is that the original reason for refusal had been “addressed through fresh plans”

In a statement, the Planning Authority said that this followed the submission of fresh plans on PA/08143/21 to address and mitigate the impact of excessive excavations by increasing the soil levels to respect the existing site topography of the area.

The Authority explained that after assessing the newly submitted drawings, the Development Management Directorate, which originally had recommended the application for refusal, agreed that the works can now be favourably considered and the original reason for refusal being addressed.

The approval is in accordance with the provisions of policy 6.4 of the Rural Policy and Design Guidelines 201, the PA said.
