Malta yet
to tighten
scrutiny of
MPs' ethical
breaches
PA approves development on
11,590 sq.m Nigret farmland
'Keeping
present
and future
governments
on their toes'
PN's proposal to
make environment
a human right
• Development will see
five storey apartments
replacing 11,590sq.m
of farmland
• Architect is former
Planning Minister
George Pullicino
JAMES DEBONO
THE Planning Authority's
Executive Council has unan-
imously approved the devel-
opment of 11,590sq.m plot of
farmland in the Nigret area
in Żurrieq defying a public
outcry in the locality.
The land in question was
added to the development
zone in the extension of
building boundaries car-
ried out in 2006. But a
zoning application like the
one approved today is still
a requirement to determine
what kind of development
can be allowed. Following
today's approval the permit
still needs the endorsement
of the Planning Minister.
In the early hours of Tues-
day, unknown individuals
plastered protest banners
onto the Żurrieq district
offices of ministers Miriam
Dalli and Stefan Zrinzo Az-
zopardi. Both were elected
on the fifth district.
