The Malta Environment and Planning Authority is issuing the resultant rationalisation of development zone boundaries for public consultation.

This exercise follows a Cabinet decision to address anomalies, while channelling urban development around existing development areas and minimising the take up of additional land.

By adopting the criteria defined in the Cabinet memo, this document seeks to address these issues so that a better definition of development areas may be achieved.

The maps show the existing Development Zone Boundaries, the submissions made during the public consultation phase of the local plans and the proposed sites that have been assessed as fulfilling the pre-established criteria. The aim of this exercise in public consultation is to identify the land for scheme inclusion. Following this, a further exercise will be undertaken to assess and define the nature of development permitted on the approved sites.

Submissions on this topic may be made in writing up to Friday, 23 June to: Local Plan Development Boundaries, PO Box 15, Marsa, GPO 01, or by email to: [email protected]
