Development control and the natural environment—the Maltese connection
The aim of this study was to evaluate the implementation of the Maltese Structure Plan policies, which have been in force since 1992, with respect to protection of the natural environment. Empirical and statistical analyses of development control data were used to achieve the objectives. The Temporary Provisions Schemes (1988) defined the limits of development in Malta thus establishing the rest of the area, commonly known as Outside Development Zone (ODZ). Significant pressures from development were caused when permissions were given in breach of planning policies. The agricultural and dwellings groups of developments were the ones which benefited most from such policy breaches. It was also shown that the Structure Plan policies had a positive effect on the decision-making process ODZs only when the decision boards applied these policies correctly.
