7 NEWS maltatoday | SUNDAY • 10 APRIL 2022 JAMES DEBONO TWO adjoining plots the size of 57 football grounds over- looking Ġnejna Bay, Għajn Tuffieħa Bay and Golden Bay are on sale for nearly €12 mil- lion, despite the fact that the land in question is not just out- side development zones but designated as an Area of High Landscape Value and a Natura 2000 site. The two plots in question are on sale on two separate post- ings on various property web- sites. A plot of 281,000 square me- tres described as "a very large area of flat land with spec- tacular unobstructed sea and country views" is being sold for €7.7 million, while another ad- joining plot of 119,910 square metres is being sold for €4.6 million. But both adverts refer to the adjoining plot, stating that the "new buyer could enjoy owning 399,375 sq.m of land." Contacted by MaltaToday, one of the property agents list- ing the property made it clear that the land is being sold with- out any condition of it being developed, with the responsi- bility of obtaining any permits falling squarely on the person buying the land. Moreover the price being asked for reflects the consider- able size of the land: the Remax Malta advert lists "space for pool" and "garden" as the "fea- tures" of the 281,000sq.m plot. Development outside de- velopment zones is limited to the redevelopment of existing properties which previously had a residential use. The only permit issued on the site in- volved the regularisation of an illegally developed agricultural store in 2017. The permit was issued despite strong objec- tions by Environment and Re- sources Authority and a neg- ative recommendation by the case officer. €12m price tag for Mgarr land size of 57 football grounds Both adverts refer to the adjoining plot, stating that the new "new buyer could enjoy owning 399,375 sq.m of land."
