A method statement for works being carried out at Wied tal-Marga, limits of Bahrija, has been approved by the Planning Authority’s Environment Protection Directorate.
The statement was requested by the Authority to ensure that works carried out on site would mitigate any significant impacts, both during the construction and operations.
Last August, the Authority revoked a controversial permit issued to former PN president Victor Scerri to extend his planned farmhouse in Baħrija. The decision, however, did not affect an earlier permit, issued in 2003 and amended in 2005, for the reconstruction of a dilapidated farmhouse on the site.
