The Planning Authority (PA) has approved the building of a 142sq.m villa and an adjacent swimming pool outside development zones despite the objections of the Environment and Resources Authority (ERA).
The existing roofed building has a footprint of 70sq.m. and an overall floor area of 130sq.m. But, as approved, the new building will have a floor area of 212sq.m over two floors.
