MEPA has asked the Sliema Local Council to give feedback regarding the proposed Skyscraper on top of the Military barracks at ex-Fort Cambridge site. When the original permit was given to the Fort Cambridge developers, the apartments were approved on condition that the ex-military barracks is preserved. Now, the developers are proposing to build a 40-storey tower on top of the building. A few metres down the road, another skyscraper is being proposed by other developers for the Townsquare project. The consultation period provided by MEPA is bang right in the middle of the Xmas period and before the next Sliema Local Council monthly decision-making meeting.
Sliema Local Council was informed as follows, re. Ref: TRK 159681 (EA00019/15)
Reference No: TRK 162247 (EA00030/15)
