The ground floor (level 0), currently used as a garage and workshop, will be modified to improve circulation and accommodate a lift, retaining the ancillary garage while replacing the workshop with a wine bar (Class 4C). The first floor (ground floor from Republic street), last used as a shop and office, will be converted into a restaurant (Class 4D) and a wine bar/coffee shop (Class 4C). The second floor will retain its office use (Class 4A), while the third floor will be changed from a three bedroom residential apartment (Class 1A) to three offices (Class 4A). The rear shaft will be redesigned to improve the configuration of the floating shafts and to continue the shaft design approved in the adjacent upper property under PA/01663/21. The overall proposal reflects a shift from a mixed residential-commercial use to a fully commercial and hospitality-oriented development, enhancing vertical circulation, accessibility, and internal functionality. The building currently suffers from significant structural issues, and the proposed changes will also address these deficiencies through necessary reinforcement and reconfiguration. This application also aims to consolidate the works proposed in DS/00133/25, DS/00270/21 and DS/00372/20 that were accepted but not actualized. - **Status:** Pending (Awaiting Recommendation) - **Location:** 227, 228, 229, 229D, B48, C48 and D48, Triq ir-Repubblika c/w, Triq San Kristofru, Belt Valletta - **Locality:** [Belt Valletta](https://propertylist.mt/planning-applications/belt-valletta) - **Applicant:** [Marcus John Scicluna Marshall](https://propertylist.mt/applicant/marcus-john-scicluna-marshall) - **Perit:** [Perit Claude Borg](https://propertylist.mt/perit/claude-borg) - **Application type:** Full development permission - **Zone:** Within Development Zone - **Type of works:** New Construction (Residential) - **Height:** 4 floors - **Received:** 20 May 2025 - **Validated:** 10 September 2025 - **Published:** 21 October 2026 - **Comments close:** 20 November 2026 [Case details on the Planning Authority website](https://www.pa.org.mt/pacasedetails?CaseType=PA/05848/25) [Plans, case officer report and decision on eapps](https://eapps.pa.org.mt/Case/CaseDetails?caseType=PA&casenumber=05848&caseYear=25) ## Planning activity around 227, 228, 229, 229D, B48, C48 and D48, Triq ir-Repubblika c/w, Triq San Kristofru, Belt Valletta 175 other applications within 300 m: 102 granted, 10 refused, 22 pending. 91% of decided applications nearby were granted.
