Eligibility JobsPlus Permit No.574/2023 THE Planning Authority has ap- proved a permit for a proposed six-floor extension to the iconic Brittania Flats in Sliema, a res- idential block of four storeys fronting Tower Road, Amery Street and the narrow Trejqet Luzju. The approval comes with a condition excluding any pro- jections of balconies beyond the building line on the narrow Trejqet Luzju, whose residents had raised privacy issues. The permit is an 'outline' one, which means the PA has approved the development in principle with the developers having yet to present detailed plans in a full development ap- plication to be approved at a later stage. The reserved matters which still require approval by the PA include the internal layout and the design and external appear- ance of the proposed building. The building was built in the early 20th century and is one of the few standalone buildings left untouched by the develop- ment frenzy that led to the de- struction of most townhouses overlooking the Sliema front. The existing façade will be re- tained but the building will rise to the height of other buildings fronting Tower Road. The application had been sent back to the drawing board by the PA's planning commis- sion last year it gave applicants Fafner Investments six more months to revise their plans. Board chairman Stephania Bal- dacchino expressed reserva- tions on the proposed design, noting that it could better com- plement the existing façade, by replicating traditional features. The extension will enable the applicant to construct 10 apartments over the existing building on Tower Road. The apartments will be spread on an additional five storeys and a penthouse level. The case officer had recom- mended refusal of the outline application for health and san- itary reasons, due to the height of the building when compared to the narrow alley. Residents objecting to the de- velopment had raised privacy issues regarding the proposed apertures overlooking Trejqet Luzju as these do not respect the distance required by sani- tary regulations. This was also one of the reasons cited by the case officer for refusal. Sliema's Brittania Flats get green light for six-storey addition
