The tribunal has dismissed the Mellieħa Local Council’s appeal against the development of a 109-unit apartment block. While the exact details of the tribunal’s decision are not publicly available, it’s likely that the council had raised concerns regarding the project’s environmental impact, zoning regulations, or other planning issues.
In Malta, the appeal process for tribunal decisions typically involves submitting an application for permission to appeal to the First-tier Tribunal, which then decides whether to grant permission. If permission is granted, the appeal is reviewed by the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber). The process is governed by statutory rules, including the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Property Chamber) Rules 2013.
