DB Group has submitted application PA/05423/26 to the Planning Authority seeking retrospective approval for several unauthorized works. The application aims to add 421 square metres to the existing Bagatelle Lido and pool deck. Crucially, it seeks to regularize excavation works that were previously halted by the Planning Authority after being carried out without proper permits.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The application follows an initial permit granted in April for a 292-square-metre expansion that involved demolishing 19th-century boathouses. Momentum has publicly condemned the sequence of events, demanding the Planning Authority reject the application outright, enforce strict fines, and initiate legal proceedings against DB Group.
