Alternattiva Demokratika expressed concern on the planning application which includes the construction of a 42-storey tower block at the former trade fair site in Naxxar.

"Considering that the proposed tower would be twice as high as the Portomaso one, it is clear that this development will have a permanent aesthetic impact on the Maltese sky line and landscape," AD's spokesman for the environment, Mark Causon said.

AD is also concerned by the fact that this was not the only application for such a development.

Other applications have been made for the development of high rise towers in Gzira and Qawra and another tower is under construction in Tigne.
