MALTA ENVIRONMENT AND PLANNING AUTHORITY
Exemption of Environmental Planning Statement
IN conformity with Regulation 3 (8) of the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations (Legal Notice No. 114 of 2007) in respect of the application mentioned hereunder, and in view of the fact that MEPA has determined that the proposal is unlikely to have significant environmental impacts. The Director of Environment Protection agrees to exempt the applicant from preparing an Environmental Planning Statement (EPS).
The Project Description Statement (PDS) presented as part of the application has considered the environmental issues in a sufficient manner such that the preparation of an EPS would not add any new information and MEPA has all the necessary information to determine the application. From the information presented in the PDS and screening according to Schedule IB, the proposal is not likely to have significant environmental effects.
A detailed justification is presented below:
Reference Number: TRK145078
Location: Site at Ta’ Darrenzi,
Triq Għajn Tuffieħa,
Mġarr, Malta
Proposal: Rehabilitation of a run down rural area into a recreational and leisure park. Project includes the cleaning by hand of existing footpaths, paving of main entrance path and a small exhibition/observation centre.
The following potential environmental impacts were identified and mitigation measures proposed in the Project Description Statement (PDS) submitted to MEPA on the PDS dated 4th January 2013 and the justification for proposal from carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submitted on 27th April, 2013.
Potential ImpactRemarks on mitigation measures etc
Land UseThe proposal will introduce built structures and formalisation of a site that is currently open land with a mix of garrigue and afforested land, located within a Rural Conservation Area. Although the scale of the proposed interventions are such that no significant impacts are likely, such issues are best addressed directly through the mainstream development control mechanism.
LightingThe proposal will introduce lighting into a currently unlit area.Lighting may have a potential impact on noctural avifauna and fauna.The impact is not considered significant given that such impact may be pre-empted at source through elimination of external lighting from the project specifications. Should the introduction of lighting be considered further, then a targeted study may be considered.
Notwithstanding the above, the Malta Environmental and Planning Authority reserves the right to request the applicant to submit additional information as may be necessary to determine the application.
