Zminijietna submits proposals for Fort Cambridge EIA
Zminijietna – Voice of Left has submitted the proposals below to MEPA re. the Fort Cambridge Environment Impact Assessment PA 02752/07
- The Environmental Impact Assessment of the Fort Cambridge Area project must be carried out holistically for the whole Qui-Si-Sana / Tigne peninsula, which also includes other developments, including MIDI, Townsquare, and the possibility of a car park/entertainment complex at Qui-si-sana.
- The EIA should include various scientific and social-scientific impact assessments covering areas such as social impacts, traffic impacts, pollution impacts, health impacts, drainage & infrastructural impacts, impacts on historical sites, visual impacts. Data used should not be outdated.
- The impact of construction works should be clearly taken into account – including dust (excavation, chasing, etc..); tower crane safety; noise pollution; exhaust; concrete mixtures; works being carried over long periods, etc..
- The height of 23 storeys for the proposed tower is illegal as it contravenes Section 97 of the Code of Police Laws for Malta. The height of a building cannot be more than three times the width of the adjacent road.
