The measure comes into force today and will be extended for a year
The Escaldes-Engordany general secretary of the new legislature has unanimously approved the precautionary suspension, as of April, of the granting of town planning licences in the absence of maximum load studies. ‘In a few hours we will go to the BOPA and thus avoid the moratòria effect’, said the senior councillor, Rosa Gili, at the end of the session of comú en la migdia and this afternoon the decree to tie up the permits to build has already been made public. Gili stated that it is an ‘essential’ and ‘coherent’ measure and that the objective is to continue for a year. ‘We have to stop to make a good urbanism of country that pleases us with all the services,’ he said.
Tanmateix, la cònsol major ha explicat que encara estan esperan els estudis que atenyen a les competències del Govern, ja que és ‘una feina conjunta’, i que esperan dur a terme la revisió del pla d’urbanisme aquest 2024. Both Gili and the head of the opposition, Anna Garcia, have expressed that this measure was a proposal that belonged to their respective electoral programmes and have pointed to coherence as the reason for the suspension. ‘It is not coherent to make licences while waiting for the studies’, said the former head of the DA list for the municipal elections, who has set the spring as the date for this to be completed.
