Superintendence 'concerned' by six-storey old people's home near aqueduct JAMES DEBONO THE Superintendence for Cul- tural Heritage has expressed "concern" on the height of an old people's home being proposed instead of the derelict struc- ture of the Wignacourt Hotel in Mriehel, emphasising the prox- imity of the historical aqueduct just six metres away from the proposed development. While not objecting to the demolition of the former hotel, the cultural heritage watch- dog noted that the sreetscape of both Notabile and Bonta- dini roads featured houses of the same style and proportions, compromising mainly two-sto- rey buildings. Charlot Sultana, who owns the site home, is proposing the dem- olition of the existing building, the excavation of four levels of basement garages and the con- struction of five overlying floors and a receded one at roof level. The SCH has invoked a plan- ning circular issued in 2020 obliging developers presenting applications next to scheduled monuments to present photo- montages to ensure a proper as- sessment of the visual impact of such developments on the sur- rounding context. In this case, it specifically asked for photomontages from various viewpoints, "especially from across the road". The local plan imposes a height limitation of two floors and a semi basement in this area but a policy approved in 2017 al- lows an additional two floors on residential homes when the de- velopment is judged to respect the context of the area. The site was previously used as a hotel originally called the Albatross Hotel before being rebranded as the Wignacourt Hotel. According to the application, the residential home proposed would be named for Saint Helen, the patron saint of Birkirkara. In 2002, the Planning Author- ity had refused to issue a permit to another applicant to change the same hotel into a retire- ment home. Subsequently the PA had issued an outline per- mit establishing parameters for residential development instead of the hotel but this was never followed up with a full permit application. Antoine Attard, the minority leader in the B'Kara local coun- cil, has also presented an objec- tion on behalf of PN council- lors warning that the proposed 19-metre high "monster build- ing" would "completely ruin the entire streetscape of the area and goes against planning poli- cies zoning the area as a residen- tial one". The six-storey building is being proposed in an area characterised by two-storey villas
