PA/03825/26: proposed development consists of a change of in Mellieha
Nos.4 and 6, Triq Sant` Elena c/w, Triq Gorg Borg Olivier, Mellieha
The proposed development consists of a change of use from an existing commercial block, approved under PA256/11, currently comprising a hair and beauty salon at ground-floor level and office spaces on the overlying floors, to a Class 3A guesthouse accommodating 16 rooms. The proposal also includes the vertical extension of the building by two additional floors. The development incorporates both internal and external alterations, including the introduction of facade projections along the elevation facing Triq Sant’Elena from the second to the fourth floor. These projections will be articulated with pilasters on elevations facing both streets, establishing a balanced solid-to-void ratio and finished in travertine cladding. Internally, the building will be fully reconfigured to provide a reception area, seating/lounge area, kitchen, and retained hair salon at ground-floor level, with guest accommodation located on the upper floors.
