The Journal
Outdoor shade in Malta and Gozo, explained from the sources: the Planning Authority, the Laws of Malta, the EU and the professions. Every article lists its sources and the date we last checked them, and nothing is published until a person has read it.
Nothing has passed review yet. We would rather show you nothing than something nobody has checked. Meanwhile, the product pages explain each system, and the planning permission guide (a draft awaiting a perit’s review) sets out the background on permits.
