A vernacular farmhouse in Gozo is set to be saved from partial demolition after a decision by a Planning board, the Times of Malta reports.

The PA's executive council told the applicant to submit fresh re-zoning plans.

The building in Victoria, which is known as the Razzett ta' San Ġużepp, was going to be partially removed to make way for a road, however the PA's executive council has proposed that the alley near the farmhouse be upgraded to allow pedestrian access instead, and that a road on the other side of the site proposed for rezoning will be rebuilt, the report read.

The applicant was asked to publish new plans to this effect, the report read.
