Telecommunications company Go yesterday filed a judicial protest complaining about building projects that would “engulf” one its properties in St Julians.

Go said it owned the telephone exchange in St Andrews Street adding that despite the development brief of March 2005 specifically limiting building mass around the site because of its importance to telecommunications, another company had proposed to build around it.

The property development company Pender Ville Ltd filed three applications to develop the area around the exchange, which would dramatically increase the building mass and engulf their own property, Go said.

The protest was filed against the Prime Minister, the Malta Environment and Planning Authority and Pender Ville Ltd.

Go held that any decision by Mepa allowing development in breach of the development brief of 2005 would cause it damages.
