The Planning Authority’s Executive Council has unanimously rejected two planning control applications for development in Ta’ Leħfar, Triq it-Tamar, Għasri, and Triq il-Qsajjem, Xlendi, both outside the development zone (ODZ).

In the Għasri application, the council cited that it strongly objected to the proposal, located ODZ, as it would introduce additional threats to the countryside in the form of a precedent for similar proposals.

In the Xlendi application, the authority said that it objected to the proposal not only because it was located ODZ and would introduce additional threats to the countryside in the form of a precedent for similar proposals, but also because it fell within a Natura 2000 site.
