Stivala’s plans for 11-storey hotel in Sliema residential area sent back to the PA Developer Michael Stivala’s plans to build an 11-storey hotel in a residential area in Sliema have been sent back to the Planning Authority by an appeals tribunal. On a site situated at an... Comments (1) Share latest comment from S. Camilleri, 01/07/2024 17:56: "Instead, the tribunal observed that Stivala had submitted a request for a change of use for the application to be considered as a hostel rather than a hotel. This request, however, was withdrawn in the Planning Commission sitting." BUT "rather than revoke the planning permit, the Tribunal sent the application back to the PA to be re-assessed as a hostel (not a hotel)". So, the tribunal is now standing in for the developer and submitting development applications instead of the developer! A fake "tribunal" if ever there was one. New Comment Reply Click to rate 1 0
