Environment and Planning Review Tribunal (EPRT) Appeals

Environmental and planning laws in Malta can be complex, especially when decisions by authorities impact personal, business, or development interests. At Sciberras Advocates we offer specialised legal assistance for appeals with the Environment and Planning Review Tribunal (EPRT), ensuring that your case is presented effectively, based on in-depth legal knowledge and practical experience.

The EPRT, established under the Environment and Planning Review Tribunal Act (Chapter 551 of the Laws of Malta), reviews decisions made by the Planning Authority and the Environment and Resources Authority (ERA). Its mandate includes examining the legality and facts of decisions within its jurisdiction, as well as handling specific disputes in accordance with Maltese law.

Applicants who applied for development permission and received a negative decision may appeal decisions with the EPRT appeal under defined circumstances. These include, full development permissions, a permission under a development notification order, a permission under a regularisation processes, a change in alignment under a planning control application, a permission for a project of common interest (PCI), registration issues, and more.

Our team at Sciberras Advocates, through our knowledge in property law in Malta, specialises in guiding clients through the entire appeals process, including case analysis where we assess the merits of the case and exploring the grounds for appeal based on the relevant laws and regulations. Our team then prepares and submits the necessary documentation to ensure that the appeal is thorough, timely, and tailored to the Tribunal’s standards.

With experience in handling complex EPRT cases, we bring an in-depth understanding of planning and environmental law, giving you an edge in presenting your case effectively. At Sciberras Advocates we pride ourselves on a proactive, results-driven approach, helping clients achieve their goals with minimal disruption.
