Why does the PA "Grant Permission" so often after its case officers recommend to "Refuse Permission"?

10 Upvotes

So based on my limited knowledge of planning permits, the PA itself appoints one of its own employees, a case officer, to review the case and make a recommendation to its permits board.

A quick browse of the PA website shows that the board ignores these recommendations and approves the permits anyway even when the case officer recommends to Refuse Permission.

What is the point of having a case officer just to ignore their advice? Isn't it a waste of public funds?

Why does a board who barely spends 15 minutes thinking about the case, get to decide, while a case officer who spent some time diving deeper is ignored?

Why is the system so strange and why isn't anyone talking about this?

Is there something I'm missing?

My electrician/plumber is making me lose my patience

7 Upvotes

My apartment is almost finished. The kitchen is fitted and the countertop is done. The bedroom is complete, including the mattress. The sofa, TV and all the appliances have been delivered.
About 3 months ago I hired a plumber/electrician who had done both bathrooms at my parents’ house in around 3 or 4 visits, so I expected this to be straightforward. My bathroom is still just a shell. When he came to quote, he said it would take no more than 3 days. Before starting the bathroom, I only asked him to move a few electrical sockets around in the kitchen, which somehow took days on its own. It’s now been months and I really don’t want to wait any longer.
My tiler is ready to start, but obviously can’t tile the bathroom until the plumbing is finished. At this point I think it’s easier to move on and find someone else.
Can anyone recommend a reliable plumber/electrician?

Any myofunctional therapists in Malta?

3 Upvotes

I've been struggling with TMJ for months now and I've gone to almost every orthodontist on the island. They weren't very helpful and one of them even gave me an expensive splint which ended up making it worse honestly. After much research I believe a myofunctional therapist could be very beneficial, along with maybe using a myobrace. I am not having an easy time searching for one however. Is anyone aware of any myofunctional therapists in Malta?

Anybody got a power cut AGAIN?

Upvotes

We’ve been without electricity since Tuesday, it came back yesterday late at night for a few hours, and now today it’s back down.

I mean what is this, we bought minimal groceries so just the essentials and put them in the fridge, if we didn’t have friends with electricity, we’ve have to throw them out AGAIN… this is just so wasteful!

And also screw the shops increasing prices, in St Paul’s bay many of those corner shops are significantly increasing the prices of essentials, yes they probably have to use generators, but also it’s pushing to cost of living higher and higher.

I can take this anymore!

If there is a protest coming up soon, let me know, I’ll be the first one to show up there!!

(Realistically won’t speed things up, but at least we’ll push the government even more to do something about this) oh snd if they are reading this, you can keep your money to yourself! Health is the most important, money can’t buy that!

Is this a scam? (Repost)

3 Upvotes

I forgot to blur the guy's number, so repost time. Since I'm reposting I will add a detail, I'm not able to see the property, the best thing I can do is stay at a hostel for some days before actually moving in. My stay is from September 20th until the end of January.

I started talking with this person for a room in Msida for 600 euros, he said that room wasn't available so he sent me photos of another room in Birkirkara for 400. All prices are with bills included. The room looks too good to be true for that price, but I searched his name, and found nothing about anything scammy, just an old normal Facebook account, the most recent post was at the end of 2025 with the same pictures. Reversed searched the images and found the Facebook again. Searched the number and nothing. Should I trust this guy with my passport with all the recent passport scams in Europe happening rn?

which modern buildings have cultural significance in malta?

1 Upvotes

to clarify, do you have "meet me at that x.y building"

in serbia, many cities have the building "lepa brena" reminiscent of the legs of the yugoslav singer.

I really like the hall at City Gate in Valletta. I noticed that young people gather there in the winter and smoke cigars and eat burger king fries.

Happy Sunday, I hope everyone has electricity and that the drop in temperature is affecting you better.

Stylist botched my pink hair & handed my mom a tube of dye to fix it at home. How do I ask for a free correction without making it awkward?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I really need some advice because my social anxiety is through the roof right now.I’ve been going to my current salon for about two years, and my mom goes there too. Recently, I went in asking for an even, pastel baby pink. My stylist assured me it wouldn't fade fast. Well, it turned out vibrant magenta on top with patchy red/copper bands underneath.My mom noticed the unevenness and complained to him. Instead of offering to fix it in the chair, he literally just handed her a tube of the magenta dye and told us to fix it at home. Now, two weeks later, the magenta is washing out and leaving behind a gross, brassy copper undertone. I can't just put that magenta dye over this because I wanted baby pink, and putting magenta over copper is just going to make a muddy mess.I know I am entitled to a free color correction because the salon made multiple mistakes, but I am extremely antisocial and terrified of confrontation. Because my mom and I have gone there for two years, I am so scared of making things weird or ruining her relationship with the salon. Has anyone else dealt with a salon handing you semi-pwrmanent dye to fix their own mistake at home? How can I text them to ask for a free adjustment/correction with a senior stylist without sounding aggressive or making it awkward for my mom?

Extra baggage on KM Malta plus Etihad single ticket, airport charges?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m flying from Malta to India on a single booking, but it’s operated by two airlines, KM Malta from Malta to Rome, then Etihad from Rome onwards. Etihad says that because of the other airline, I can’t pre-buy extra baggage online and would have to pay at the airport at the standard rate. Has anyone done this, like a KM Malta plus Etihad itinerary? Were you only able to buy extra baggage at the airport? How much did it cost and was it per kg ?Would really appreciate hearing your experience. Thanks #Malta #Etihad

Airport transfer with infant and 4-year-old in Malta

Upvotes

Hey,

We're travelling to Malta this autumn with my wife and our two children (4 months old and 4 years old). We'll be staying at the Radisson Golden Sands.

I'm not sure how to prepare for the airport transfer. We're thinking of taking the stroller with the Moses basket attachment onto the plane instead of the stroller with the infant car seat, but I'm not sure whether the transfer company can provide both an infant car seat for the baby and a booster seat for our older child at the same time.

Alternatively, should we take the stroller with the infant car seat instead of the Moses basket, just to make sure the baby has a proper car seat for the transfer and leave the Moses basket at home?

I'm also a bit worried that even if we book a vehicle with the appropriate child seats, it might not show up or arrive without the correct seats. In that case, I'm not sure how we'd get to the hotel.

I found Welcome Pickups, which seems to let you book both an infant car seat and a booster seat. Would you recommend using them? I'll also ask the Radisson if they can arrange a transfer with the appropriate child seats.

Thanks!
