A Planning Authority case officer has recommended refusing application PA/05857/26 for an outdoor catering platform opposite Ta’ Ġieżu church in St Paul Street, Rabat. The report cites accessibility, pedestrian safety, loss of parking and harm to the historic streetscape. More than 180 objections were filed, while Transport Malta, the heritage superintendence and the Commission for the Rights of Persons with Disability also raised concerns. The recommendation is not a final refusal: the Planning Board retains the decision and is scheduled to hear the application on 15 October.
