Mepa regrets that it has to draw attention to the incorrect reportage concerning Mepa's statement regarding the permit for the re-development of the Ulysses Lodge.

The journalist reported as follows: "The authority challenged the NGOs to initiate proceedings against Mepa if they thought the proceedings were irregular".

What Mepa said was: "If the action group deems it has the material necessary to prove that the Outline Permit ought to be withdrawn, it can initiate the process stipulated in article 39A of the Development Planning Act. This should be done immediately in the public interest".

This is not a challenge but a statement of fact. Furthermore, proof to initiate proceedings would not be brought against Mepa but against the permit as even a cursory look at the Development Planning Act would show.
