PA/03809/26: proposed development comprises the excavation and construction in Safi
Vacant Site, New Street off, Triq tal-Palma, Safi
The proposed development comprises the excavation and construction of private vehicle garage basements on two under-road levels beneath the internal road , to be accessed from a communal vehicular access point within Block D (PA/3727/25). The basement levels are proposed to be also interconnected with those approved for Block B (PA/3728/25) and Block C (PA/3759/25). The principle of the development has already been established through Outline Development Permit PA/00929/26. The proposal includes deeper excavation works within Blocks B, C and D to achieve continuity and level alignment between the interconnected basement structures, together with minor amendments to the previously approved parking layouts within these blocks. In addition, the approved vehicular access point within Block B is proposed to be closed and replaced by an extension to an existing apartment, while the communal vehicular access point within Block D is to be repositioned in order to comply with Transport Malta requirements. The existing approved substation is also proposed to be relocated beneath the footprint of Block D.
