On 28 October 1977, Francisco Lebasque Belloncle, developer of the Planas del Rey (Planes del Rei) urbanisation, signed a deed of gift in favour of the Pratdip Town Hall. This act aimed to transfer, free of charge, several plots of land.
1) Content and purpose of the donation
- Donor: Francisco Lebasque Belloncle, in his capacity as developer.
- Beneficiary: Pratdip Town Hall.
- Plots concerned: green areas, roads, public infrastructure.
- Purpose: integration into the municipal public domain.
- Objective: to enable the municipality to take responsibility for the management of infrastructure and public services.
2) Legal value and implications
- The act demonstrates a clear intention by the developer to transfer the common areas to the town hall.
- It represents a key stage in the process of urbanisation reception by a municipality.
- This process is necessary for the town hall to take responsibility for: maintenance, lighting, roads, water supply, sewerage, etc.
- Acceptance of the donation implies an explicit or implicit recognition of the municipality’s future responsibility.
3) Importance in the context of Planas del Rey
- Confirms that in 1977 there was a willingness to integrate on the part of both the developer and the property owners.
- Contradicts later statements by the town hall claiming never to have accepted the management or responsibility of the infrastructure.
- Can serve as evidence in legal proceedings aimed at proving that the town hall accepted public assets, thereby assuming its responsibility.
