The government-appointed Urban Planning Committee voted yesterday on the legal conditions proposed by the Lands, Transport and Public Works Bureau (DSSOPT) for the possible development of a plot next to the city’s Muslim cemetery. Twenty of the 26 members of the committee who cast their votes supported the conditions while six voted against.

With the support by the council, a high-rise of up to 127 metres can be built on the plot.

The Urban Planning Committee yesterday held a meeting on the DSSOPT premises to discuss and review the proposed legal conditions for a development project on the plot next to the Muslim cemetery in Ramal dos Mouros.
