THE POWER OF PERSEVERANCE

“When we appealed the original approval of this application back in August 2016 many thought it was in vain. We went ahead anyway. We checked the documents, verified the facts and through exhaustive research proved that at almost 40 storeys. Townsquare was beyond anything that should ever have been considered by the Planning Authority let alone approved. Our work led to the overturning of a planning decision on a major development in the heart of Sliema, that most believed to be a lost cause. Today we’re seeing the applicants, after being ordered by the Tribunal to go back to the drawing board, putting forward a proposal that is 11 storeys less than the original. This change should not be underestimated. It is a win for the people and a realization of planning justice, proving that through perseverance change is possible” –  Tara Cassar, NGO Architect
