The Malta Planning & Environment Authority (MEPA) board has today refused two development planning applications at Ta’ Fgieni in Attard.
These two planning applications, located in Triq Lorenzo Manche, proposed the development of semi-basement garages and residential units over 3 floors and additional penthouses.
Last August, following the scheduling of Villa Bologna, its gardens and boundary walls as a Grade 1 property, the Authority had declared this area as a scheduled buffer zone, in a move to further conserve the Villa Bologna complex. The buffer zone, which extends beyond the two sites in question and includes both Triq Lorenzo Manche and Triq il-Ghenba, now only allows restricted development for buildings not exceeding 2 floors from street level. Both streets abut Villa Bologna and its gardens.
