A second attempt has been launched to turn a derelict explosives factory into a tourist resort in Dingli, adjacent to a Natura 2000 site.
The downsized proposal for the eco-spa resort – consisting of 10 single-story blocks each with a pool – was first presented in June 2020, but the deals of the latest application was only published in the last days.
La Toc Ltd’s previous plans, presented first in 2017, were of 11 blocks and a restaurant, as well as a 64-car park requiring extensive excavation. The plans were objected to by the local council and environmental NGOs.
