Moviment Graffitti has said that there is a hearing tomorrow for another application – PA/01703/22 – in “Portelli’s monstrous project in Sannat.”
The area in question is Sannat Heights and undeveloped land, Triq il-Pinnur c/w Triq ta’ Bebunaq, Triq il-Paranji.
The organisation said that it will be taking part in the hearing at around 11am on Wednesday [1] for this project by Gozitan Joseph Portelli and his partner Mark Agius. This application adds 27 apartments to a project of 125 apartments, a stone’s throw away from the Ta’ Cenc cliff.
The description of works is for the: Proposed construction of basement level -2 as garages for private cars, interconnecting with adjacent existing basement garages. Proposed basement -1 as garages for private cars. Proposed 5 maisonettes at ground floor level and 15 apartments at level 1,2 and 3. Proposed receded floor level as four apartments. Proposed extension of existing three apartments at level 3 in Sannat height building to full floor and three additional apartments at the receded floor level. Proposed splash pools at receded floor level.
Moviment Graffitti stated that “this is the fifth application in this project. Portelli and his partners are destroying the peace of Sannat and the cliffs of Gozo.”
It argued that, “the way in which the applications were divided is a blatant abuse that is being facilitated by the Planning Authority.”
Moviment Graffitti concluded by saying that thanks to the public’s response, “we have already collected enough funds to open an appeal against the last application that was approved abusively.”

Money Walks & Money Talks, Nothing more to add. Gozo is losing its former charm at a Rapid Rate just to benefit & Greed of a few.
It is up to the Authorities responsible to see that Gozo still remains the Gozo that was once so peaceful & lovely.
Are the General Public Appeals Cries to Stop these abusive developments falling on Deaf Ears?
The Question is Simple “WHY”.
