The Planning Authority has refused planning permission for a two storey terraced house within the 100 meter buffer zone of the protected heritage site of Għar Għerduf in Kercem, Gozo.

In October 2000, the Planning Authority had given the archaeological site of Għar Għerduf a Class A category status.

Last June the PA Board had withdrawn a permit issued for the same site after it concluded that an error in the designation of the protected site had led to the incorrect assessment of the planning application.
