S.L. 552.22 ст. 14Overall height of the façade.

(1) In streets or open spaces which are three metres wide or less, the overall height of the façade should not exceed twice the width of the street or open space, which width shall be calculated as the clear horizontal distance between the building frontage of the façade and the building frontage of the nearest façade on the opposite side of the street or open space. Height to width ratio does not apply in the case of façades fronting the seafront or land outside the development zone.

(2) In streets or open spaces which are wider than three meters but less than or equal to fifteen metres, the overall height of the façade should not exceed three times the width of the street or open space which width shall be calculated as specified in sub-regulation (1). Height to width ratio does not apply in the case of façades fronting the seafront or land outside the development zone:

Provided that additional floors above the overall height of the façade stipulated under sub-regulations (1) and (2) may be allowed provided adequate setbacks from the building alignment of the façade are introduced. The setback for the additional floors shall be of a dimension such that the ratio of the width of the street, as specified in sub-regulation (1), and the setback, to the overall height of the building, including the setback floors, shall never be less than 1:2 for street widths of three metres or less and never less than 1:3 for street widths of more than three metres. Street widths shall be measured as stipulated in sub-regulations (1) and (2): Provided further that there may be exceptions depending on the site context, in which case any façades which are higher than as provided in this regulation are to respect the surrounding context.

(3) In streets or open spaces which are wider than fifteen meters, the overall height of the façade can exceed three times the width of the street, as specified in sub-regulation (1), without the need for setbacks from the building alignment of the façade.
