Bahrija case back before Mepa tomorrow

The Malta Environment and Planning Authority will tomorrow consider the modification/revocation of the controversial building permit issued for the redevelopment of a dilapidated dwelling at Wied Tal-Marca. Bahrija.

The case will be reconsidered in terms of Article 39A of the Development Planning Act.

Article 39A gives Mepa the right to revoke permits in particular circumstances, including 'when there is an error on the face of the record that offends the law', such as when wrong information is given to the authority.

The chairman of Mepa had already declared in reaction to the Mepa auditor's investigation of the permit that the applicant had been notified of the authority's intention to apply article 39A for the withdrawal of the permit because it was issued erronously.
