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: PA 00694/15
Location: 2, Triq Ir-Rabat, Marsalforn, Żebbug (Gozo), Gozo
Proposal: To construct an 87 room hotel, related catering facilities, open-air amenities and underlying car park.
The following potential environmental impacts were identified and mitigation measures proposed in the Project Description Statement (PDS) submitted to MEPA on the 6th February, 2014 and updated on 22nd July, 2015 and the justification for proposal from carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) submitted on 23rd July, 2015.
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.
Potential Impacts | Remarks on mitigation measures, etc. |
Waste generation | The project will generate waste during both construction and operation. Inert waste generated during the construction phase is not considered to be significant. Municipal waste produced during operation will be disposed of in accordance with established waste management procedures. Any waste generated can be sufficiently mitigated through an environmental registration covering the entire hotel. |
Impact on air quality | During construction, fugitive dust from site clearance and excavation, and NOx from construction vehicles, are expected. However, no significant impact is envisaged as long as the Environmental Management Construction Site Regulations (Legal Notice 295 of 2007) are adhered to. During operation, NOx will be generated by operational traffic but given the nature and scale, the proposal per se will not generate significant amounts of traffic. |
Noise and vibrations | Noise and vibration during construction are expected to be limited to those typically associated with normal construction site activities. During operations, noise and vibration are not expected to be significant given the type of project. |
Impact on cultural heritage | Although the site is not located within an archeological sensitive area, there is a possibility of archaeological remains being uncovered. Thus, consultation with the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage (SCH) is required especially regarding monitoring of on-site works. |
Light pollution | During night time, light emissions above the current baseline situation are expected. Nevertheless, these may be reduced through the use of down-lighters and minimisation of nocturnal lighting. |
