But it is doubtful whether these projections reflect the ac- celerated demand for mineral resources triggered by the cur- rent construction boom. The Mineral Subject Plan was approved by the Planning Authority in 2003 and a pro- posed new quarry at Tax-Xatba L-Ħamra in Mqabba was turned down on the basis of this policy. In its objections to the pro- posed Bengħajsa quarry, the Birżebbugia local council, rep- resented by architect Carmel Cacopardo, is claiming that this development is in breach of the Mineral Subject Plan while re- ferring to the threat to natural heritage in the area. Zrinzo Azzopardi replied that the application presented by Paul Falzon is now being as- sessed on the basis of its impact on the environment and cultur- al heritage. In fact both the Environment and Resources Authority and the Superintendence for Cultur- al Heritage have expressed con- cern about this development. ERA has expressed concern on the loss of the site's rural char- acter while the Superintend- ence has expressed concern that the quarry is located just 100m away from Fort Bengħajsa not- ing that vibrations may result in damage to the fort, whose pres- ent state of neglect and disre- pair make it more unstable. jdebono@mediatoday.com.mt
