​Section 58 of the Development Planning Act 2016

The Planning Authority considers that the following site:

​Sit, Triq Ġdida fi Pjazza Sant'Anton, Ix-Xagħra

(see site plan on page 15,262) is of archaeological, historical, architectural and contextual value such that they should be listed as a Scheduled Property in terms of Article 57 of the Development Planning Act 2016.

The Authority feels that this site is to be considered as 'heritage at risk'. This term refers to those sites that are more at risk of being lost as a result of neglect, decay or inappropriate development.  The loss or partial loss of the site will result in the irreversible loss of cultural heritage.  Thus, the Authority is hereby issuing an Emergency Conservation Order (ECO) in respect of the above site in accordance with Article 58 of the Development Planning Act 2016.

(i) The site is to be considered as Class A scheduled property as per SPED paragraph 1.13 by virtue of their archaeological, historical, architectural, and contextual values.

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

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

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

(v) The works shall be monitored by the Planning Authority and Superintendence of Cultural Heritage at the expense of the owner.

​(vi) The maintenance of the said site shall be exclusively the responsibility of the owner/s 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/conservation 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 properties are 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.
