Malta ENVIRONMENT AND PLANNING AUTHORITY
Notification of Exemption of Environmental Planning Statement
In conformity with Regulation 3(8) of the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations (Legal Notice 114 of 2007), 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 that the proposal does not require the preparation of 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 of the same Regulations, the proposal is not likely to have significant environmental effects.
A detailed justification is presented below:
Reference Number: TRK. 151436
Location:Riviera Resort & SPA, Ir-Ramla tal-Bir, Marfa, Mellieħa, Malta
Proposal:Proposed additions and alterations to existing hotel consisting of new entrance/reception; extension to restaurant and kitchen; additions of sea view rooms; additions of recessed floor (level 5); addition of roof level sundeck with splash pool; re-location of loading bay and goods entrance; pedestrianization, extension and landscaping of public sea front promenade; proposed construction and landscaping of public parking area and new traffic arrangements for hotel ring road.
The following potential environmental impacts were identified and mitigation measures proposed in the Project Description Statement (PDS) submitted to MEPA on the 7th October, 2013 and the justification for proposal from carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submitted on 4th February, 2014.
Potential ImpactsRemarks on mitigation measures, etc.
Visual Amenity:Photomontages submitted indicate that the proposal is visible from all the surrounding areas, and may be viewed by sensitive receptors. However, given that the extension has an identical design to the one of the existing hotel, the change in visual amenity is low.
Land use and coastal impact: The size and nature of the proposed project will not result in significant land use and coastalimpacts.Nonetheless, it is imperative that the project does not entail the further uptake of land and coast outside the development zone. This should be addressed through the mainstream development planning process.
Cultural Heritage: Cultural heritage features within 200 metres radius of the site include It-Torri tas-Sgħajtar (Il-Batterija ta’ Wied Musa); World War II beach post ruins; Wied Musa military buffer zone; It-Torri tal-Bir; and Ir-Ramla tal-Bir military buffer zone.The probability of the works impacting cultural heritage features on site is remote. Nonetheless, monitoring by a qualified archaeologist is recommended to be carried out during the construction phase.
Construction Phase Noise and Dust Emissions: Dust and noise emissions during site clearance, excavation and construction may affect thenearby residents and people frequenting the site. Dust and noise abatement measures in accordance with the Environmental Management Construction Site Management Regulations, 2007 (Legal Notice 295 of 2007) shall further minimise the impact.
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.
