And now, it seems the long awaited catering establishment has ar- rived. Plans have been submit- ted to the Planning Authority by the owners of the Pit Stop petrol station, for a restaurant that would be located outside development zones in Attard. The owners of the petrol sta- tion have applied for an exten- sion consisting of a restaurant and a parking area, which if approved would abut into the boundary of the neighbouring mental health hospital in an Attard fuel stop wants eatery JAMES DEBONO THE Superintendence for Cultural Heritage is objecting to the creation of a goat farm for the Kalanka agritourisn project, warning that approval would "continue to signifi- cantly and negatively alter the cultural landscape". The development, a large Ni- ssen to house the Maltese goat once eradicated in Malta after the brucellosis epidemic and which hotelier Kenneth Abela wants to reintroduce from Sic- ily, would cover some 230sq. m. Abela owns 23,000sq.m of land in the area and has al- ready secured a permit for the reconstruction of a derelict hotel in the pristine Kalanka cove. The Planning Authority also approved three other applica- tions presented by Abela to sanction a number of rural structures previously used by bird trappers, then a permit to "consolidate" a series of old Heritage watchdog says no to Kalanka goat farm structures into a brand new agricultural store and green- houses on some 735sq.m of land to which the Environ- ment and Resources Author- ity had objected because of the "piecemeal approach" to development in an area scheduled for its landscape value. 41 trees will be grown to minimise the visual impact of this development. But the Superintendence has now expressed its concern on the approval of the goat farm, which would be situated in- side an Area of Ecological Im- portance and an Area of High Landscape Value which in- cludes coastal cliffs proposed for inclusion in UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites. The cultural watchdog is calling on the Planning Au- thority to implement its poli- cies to ensure the protection of the natural and cultural landscape and refuse the lat- est development application. While expressing its agree- ment in principle with the aim of the project – that of rein- troducing the Maltese goat – the Environment and Re- sources Authority is insisting that this be done in appro- priate locations, reiterating its concern that the develop- ment is being proposed in proximity to the coast and in a sensitive location. ERA has now called on Ab- ela to present more studies to assess the impact of the pro- ject. Before the Maltese goat breed disappeared from Mal- ta it was common for farmers from other countries such as Sardinia and Sicily to come and buy goats from Maltese farmers. Abela traced the Maltese goats in Sicily by referring to the "libro geneologico capri- no" – a genealogical book list- ing goat breeds in Italy and where these are bred. This led Abela to establish con- tact with an organic farm in the vicinity of San Cataldo, owned by Luca Cammarata. The idea is to import the Maltese goat directly to Malta from this farm. 50 to 100 goats will be bred in a purposely-built farm in Delimara. The herd will eventually be used to produce milk prod- ucts made from the goats' milk, on the same lines as those which are already being successfully produced and marketed in Caltanissetta, where the goat's milk is used to produce organic yoghurts, and a vast selection of typical cheeses made from Maltese goats' milk.
