The MEPA board this afternoon approved an outline development permit for the redevelopment of Mistra Village. The new development will feature 868 residential units in blocks with a maximum height of eight storeys at the highest point of Mistra ridge and 11 storeys further down.

The development was approved amid protests from non-governmental organisations who argued that the project is too big, creating a major visual impact and also increasing traffic, especially in Xemxija.

An official of the Development Control Directorate said the project had actually been scaled down from what was originally proposed.

Architect Edwin Mintoff for developers Gemxija Crown Ltd said the development was in line with MEPA policies.
