Key development, planning and environmental sector stakeholders will discuss how to review Malta’s long-term environmental strategy and new rules for building aesthetics in 2021, the Environment Ministry has said.
The Intelligent Planning Consultative Forum has been asked to focus on three key areas this year: a review of the Strategic Plan for the Environment and Development, or SPED; a new aesthetics policy for buildings; and a two-speed application process which would allow applications featuring green infrastructure or other key environmental measures to be fast-tracked.
The IPCT, established one year ago by minister Aaron Farrugia, brings together stakeholders from the Chamber of Architects, Malta Developers Association, Malta Chamber of Planner, Planning Authority, Environment and Resources Authority and civil society.
