Here’s a simple idea for the Prime Minister

—

Given that the Prime Minister has complained of contractors submitting planning applications that to him are “non-starters”, here is a very simple idea.

How about amending the law to prevent applications like these to be submitted in the first place, or to make them by default inadmissible? The government has a majority in parliament so it could easily pass such a law.

Wow, incredible that I’m discovering how a government is supposed to work. Elect me as your Prime Minister and I’ll get this done.

Our standards are so low that it hurts.

    Clearly they want to keep standards low. It’s the nature of pigs.

    To paraphrase what the manager of a manufacturing plant once told a conference of the Soviet party: It?s useless to fight the plans. You’ve got to kill the people producing them.

    An automatic ban on ODZ applications and those exceeding height limitations would make sense.
    Given that applications will be submitted anyway, some sort of simplified ‘pre-flight check’ where the basics are checked before an application is even considered would make sense.

    Despite critisizing the re-zoning of ODZ by the Nazs in 2006 Labour has done nothing to safeguard the remaining ODZ or mitigate the changes carried out in 2006. If naught they have allowed and facilitated the Developers’ cabal to exploit this re-zoning to the hilt. If labour or any future governmens want to be taken seriously about protecting the environment and ODZ this has to be enshrined in the Maltese constitution. Development of any sort or even overlapping onto the remaining ODZ for any reason whatsoever must become an absolute no go.
