Congratulations are due to Minister Pullicino for doing the right thing, and banning the construction of 57 villas in the area of Ta’ Cenc overlooking Mgarr ix-Xini. Quite rightly, the Minister realised that the application to build the villas ran contrary to the Structure Plan (1992) as well as the Gozo and Comino Local Plan (2002). Can the Minister now continue to do the right thing, and halt all other aspects of the proposed development that are equally contrary to the two plans, namely: 1) the new hotel – at three storeys, its too high – only two are allowed; 2) the bungalows overlooking Xewkija – they are too close to the ridge; 3) the so called “heritage park” – the Structure Plan doesn’t call for a heritage park, it calls for a national park – a park in private developers hands can never be a national park.
