7 maltatoday | SUNDAY • 27 DECEMBER 2020 NEWS Christmas specials The Planning Authority has published proposed amendments to the South Malta and Central Malta Local Plans. These amendments relate to the removal of the building height restrictions that exist within the industrial parks of Imriehel and Marsa. The proposal seeks to introduce more flexibility in the provision of industrial space within the Maltese Islands, whereby building heights in these zones will be determined by non-numeric, urban design policies. The proposed urban design parameters which will guide the assessment of building heights will include the operational needs of the business, the under-ground development potential, the topography of the site, the proximity of sites/ buildings that must be safeguarded and the impact upon the skyline. The general massing and design of the building must follow best practice in terms of environmentally sustainable design, neighbour compatibility, construction and operational management. No blank party walls will be allowed. The proposed policy changes to the partial review of the South Malta Local Plan (policy SMMR 1) and the Central Malta Local Plan (policy CG14, as amended by planning control application PC57/10 of 2012) may be downloaded from the Authority's website www.pa.org.mt. Submissions may be sent on email address industry.review@pa.org.mt. The closing date for submissions is Friday 29th January 2021. www.pa.org.mt PLANNING AUTHORITY HAVE YOUR SAY (Phase 2) OPEN PUBLIC CONSULTATION Partial Review of the South Malta and Central Malta Local Plan Sites - Industrial Parks of Imriehel and Marsa ALL PL voter PN voter No vote Voted PL 2017 Voted PN 2017 Did not vote 2017 Male Female 18-35 36-50 51-65 65+ Primary Secondary Post-sec Tertiary Gozo Northern N Harbour S Eastern S Harbour Western 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 21.7% 29.4% 48.9% 12.1% 39.3% 48.5% 32.4% 67.6% 24.1% 75.9% 26.7% 21.3% 52.0% 15.8% 40.4% 43.8% 17.2% 30.5% 52.3% 26.8% 27.2% 46.0% 16.8% 31.5% 51.7% 25.4% 20.2% 54.4% 14.4% 42.3% 43.3% 17.0% 30.7% 52.2% 29.8% 24.2% 46.0% 38.4% 18 .2% 43.5% 15.2% 33.1% 51.7% 20.6% 34.8% 44.6% 23.8% 26.1% 50.1% 20.9% 41.9% 37.2% 20.6% 32.8% 46.7% 17.3% 23.7% 59.0% 24.7% 21.8% 53.6% 22.5% 27.4% 50.1% 27.3% 39.8% 33.0% Yes No So-and-so Looking back at 2020 Was 2020 a good year for you?
