Development
The Plan Parcial covering development in the Sierra was drawn up in
1970. It has never been revised, although there have been “re-
interpretations” of parts of the Plan.
There are also Ordinances
which set out how
development is to be
carried out. The Asociación
is concerned that the
original plan has never
been updated, in line with
more recent views on
protection of the Sierra
Bernia.
Although there have been recent statements about restricting
development above the 300 metre line in the Sierra, construction is
still taking place, under the old Plan.
The Asociación is also concerned that the interpretation of the
Ordinances, by the Ayuntamiento, allows a higher level of
development than was originally permitted.
Over the past eight years, the Asociación has regularly requested
changes to the old Ordinances, and in recent years we have had
some success.
The old practice of grouping Parcelas, and then sub-dividing them to
create more houses, is now prohibited. There is also greater control
over under-builds, and extensions.
