MEPA clamps down on Paradise and Golden Bay illegalities JAMES DEBONO THE Malta Environment and Planning Authority has issued en- forcement notices against illegal development which took place over the past two decades in Paradise Bay and Golden Bay in Mellieha. The owners of the Paradise Bay restaurant were served with an enforcement order against the construction of an illegal canopy covering the restaurant's terrace, the construction of a room be- ing used as a kitchen, the creation of concrete paved areas used for placing of sunbeds and umbrellas, the levelling of pathways and the development of cladded boundary walls between sand level and con- crete area. A similar enforcement notice against concrete paving in the same site was issued in 1993. Ac- cording to MEPA's files this case is still awaiting "direct action" 20 years later. Two applications to sanction il- legalities on the same site were dis- missed by MEPA in 2004. MEPA has also clamped down on another restaurant located in the Ramla tal-Mixquqa (Golden Bay) in Mellieha. The enforcement order refers to the extension of a kiosk to a build up structure covering 465 square metres. jdebono@mediatoday.com.mt PHOTOGRAPHY BY RAY ATTARD
