Section 58 of the Development Planning Act, 2016

The Planning Authority considers that the following property: 

102A & 103, Triq l-Ifran c/w Triq l-Ajkla, Valletta

(see site plan on page 18,827) is of historical, architectural and contextual value such that it should be listed as a Scheduled Property in terms of Section 57 of the Development Planning Act 2016.

The Authority is aware that the property has been partially demolished (not in accordance with valid planning permits) and that there is a risk of deterioration of the remaining historic fabric.

The Authority takes note that despite the Dangerous Structure Consent (DS 117/18) issued on 10th July, 2018, which permitted the replacement of a balcony within three months, no such works have been undertaken by the owner to date. Furthermore, despite the limits to the permitted development imposed in PA1489/15, issued on 27th July, 2016) the property has been partly demolished and has now been left in a state of neglect, which if not attended to, may lead to further damage of the structure. This would rescind the heritage value of said property, and is hereby issuing an Emergency Conservation Order in respect of the above property in accordance with Article 58 of the Development Planning Act, 2016.

(i) The property is to be considered as Grade 2 scheduled property as per SPED paragraph 1.13 by virtue of its historical, architectural, and contextual values.

(ii) Damage, demolition, development, dumping or movement of earth or removal of stones, excavations, or alterations, including fittings and apertures, within or nearby any part of the building is prohibited.

(iii) Within one (1) month of the publication of this order, the owner(s) is to submit a proposed Restoration Method Statement to the Planning Authority for the restoration, repairs, faithful reconstruction, and rehabilitation of the property. This Restoration Method Statement will be made to reinstate the missing parts of the building and to restore the building to its original state prior to the commencement of works. All existing original fabric is to be retained and placed in its original position. Faithful copies of missing or destroyed portions of the site are to be replicated (to the same specifications and dimensions) and reinstated in their original location. Furthermore, all such reinstatement shall be carried out using the same traditional materials that were originally used in the construction of the building. Failing which the Planning Authority shall carry out those works necessary as prescribed above at the owner’s expense as provided in the Act.

(iv) All uses within the aforementioned property are to be covered by a valid permit from the Planning Authority.

(v) All developments, alterations or interventions on this property, which might be permissible, must be approved in advance by the Planning Authority in consultation with the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage.

(vi) The works shall be monitored by the Planning Authority at the expense of the owner.

(vii) The maintenance of the said building shall be exclusively the responsibility of the owner by means of a continuous maintenance programme.

The Order shall have effect for a period of 12 months from the date of publication of this order.  In accordance with Section 58 (4) of the Act, any appeal to the Tribunal from this Emergency Conservation Order shall not stay the execution of such order.

All restoration works have to follow respective criteria established by the Council of Europe and UNESCO in their Conventions, Charters and Protocols, to which Malta is signatory.

If the property is further damaged, altered, demolished or destroyed in contravention of this Order, the Authority will exercise its powers of enforcement as set out in the Development Planning Act, 2016. The Act provides for severe penalties for contraventions on Scheduled Property.
