TMID Editorial: The San Gwann example It took a couple of days of public outcry for an application for the development of a huge supermarket in San Gwann to be withdrawn. We need more of these instances. Last Saturday, it was... Comments (2) Share latest comment from R F, 23/05/2024 09:48: Do not exclude that the proposal will come back after the elections. I imagine that a lot of money would have already been put in the preparation of the application and to simply withdraw it because of public outcry after just 2 days, does not convince me that the withdrawal is permanent. On the points mentioned in the article, of why it should not even be considered, I fully agree. The fact is that the Planning Authority has become like a prostitute for speculators. The applicant will not be the supermarket operator and is not concerned about how many supermarkets are there in the area. The developer's only goal is to buy the land as an ODZ and turn into property that can be developed. New Comment Reply Click to rate 0 0
