The Planning Authority has approved the demolition of a building in Xlendi, on a site earmarked for the development of a massive 13-storey hotel in Xlendi by developer Joe Portelli.
The application approved is limited to the demolition of existing buildings located in Triq San Xmun and in Triq il-Punici and no excavations will be allowed at this stage as was initially proposed by the developers.
