A proposed chicken farm in Siġġiewi has the council seeing red with Mayor Karol Aquilina saying he will ask the Ombudsman to investigate the planning process.

Dr Aquilina yesterday complained that the Malta Environment and Planning Authority failed to inform the council that the recommendation by the planning officer had changed once again.

He insisted the latest development happened despite a court order for Mepa to stop processing the application.

Dr Aquilina said the council will ask the environment and planning Ombudsman to delve into the planning process that characterised this application.

The development concerns the construction of a chicken farm in the area known as Tad-Dikkiena in the limits of Siġġiewi.
