PA/06435/24: Change of use from approved Class 4D in Belt Valletta
238, Triq San Pawl, Belt Valletta
Change of use from approved Class 4D (PA/05292/18) to Class 1 dwelling, removal of alterations which were approved but not built (including installation of lift shaft which necessitated removal of x2 arches at basement level and removal of timber beams/xorok, and opening up of parts of floor); and internal alterations including removal and reconstruction of dilapidated staircase (built on a corroded and dangerous reinforced concrete beam), shifting of openings, and construction of lightweight partitions to form rooms. New proposal to be considerably less intrusive than approved PA/05292/18.
