MEPA stops Lija developments

MEPA said today that it had decided to issue a conservation order with regard to two developments within the scheduled buffer zone around the Lija belvedere.

The order will ban building works that are more than two storeys high.

"The conservation order further strengthens the Authority's stand in safeguarding the visual integrity of the Lija Belvedere Tower and its surroundings, following the decisions taken by the Authority last July to schedule a visual buffer zone around the tower," the Authority said.

The Authority had previously issued permits which would have seen two properties demolished to be replaced by apartment blocks on three storeys. Demolition of one of the properties has started (picture).
