The Planning Authority has proposed the addition of two new category classes to the Development Notification Order (DNO). The classes will cover development related to the Corradino Correctional Facility and development by the Malta Police Force.
DNO applications are for any proposed development which does not have an adverse impact on neighbouring residences. There are currently 19 category classes of permitted development which include internal alterations, roof structures and more. For this type of application the public is not notified of the proposed works. The Authority has to reply to a notification within 30 days from its submission.
"The addition of class 20 to the DNO regulations will give leeway to the Director of the Corradino Correctional Facility to carry out development works on land which is already assigned for the same prison facility. If a proposed development for the prison is located on a protected area or within a scheduled property, prior clearance by the Superintendent of Cultural Heritage (SCH) and by the Environment and Resources Authority (ERA) is needed. A proposed development must also be recommended by the Minister responsible for the prisons."
"The same thing will apply should class 21 also be introduced. In this case, the class relates to development carried out on land under the operational control of the Malta Police Force."
"The full proposed legal notice which will enable these changes, may be viewed on the Planning Authority's website http://ift.tt/2lKoUTs. Individuals and organisations are invited to send their representation related to the proposed changes in writing through email address: dno@pa.org.mt by not later than Monday 17th July 2017."
