The planning application also proposes the construction of two new receded floors instead of an existing third storey, in- creasing the building's height by about 3m. The Savoy building housed one of the most popular cin- emas in Valletta between the 1950s and 1980's before being transformed into a shopping arcade. The original building was de- molished along with the Au- berge d'Auvergne, which were hit by a German parachute mine during World War II. As proposed both new floors will be set back from the Re- public Street frontage to mit- igate the visual impact. The floors will include 1,350sq.m of office space. The new height will be higher than an adjacent building and will be in line with the highest point of the neighbouring law courts which rises to a maxi- mum of 20.9 meters. The Superintendence for Cul- tural Heritage has expressed reservations on the proposed demolition of part of the roof and has asked for a method statement for the proposed in- tervention, to ensure the stabil- ity of the remaining larger part of the same roof. The SCH is still assessing the other application envisaging the complete removal of the roof and the erection of an ad- ditional floor. The two applications have been presented by Joseph Cor- tis, a director in Central Busi- ness Centres plc which is based in Zebbug. Earlier this year the Planning Authority had approved an ap- plication for the change of use of a number of retail outlets located in the third floor into offices.
