Meeting proceedings
The meeting was opened by Sílvia Carrillo, who explained that its purpose was to seek, together with the various competent public authorities, practical solutions for the future of Planas del Rey.
The municipal secretary then presented an overview of the administrative and legal situation of the urbanisation, highlighting the existing legal issues and the municipality’s financial constraints.
The discussions focused on several key topics, including:
- the legal status of the urbanisation;
- the financing of future infrastructure works;
- the registration of Planas del Rey in the Land Registry;
- the different stages required to continue the regularisation process.
The Catalan Water Agency (ACA) confirmed that the future wastewater treatment plant would remain eligible for agency funding, but only after the complete renovation of the sewerage network.
For his part, the architect of the County Council recalled the existence of a court ruling preventing the granting of new building permits until the urbanisation had been officially registered in the Land Registry.
Main conclusions
At the end of the meeting, the participants agreed on the need to register Planas del Rey in the Falset Land Registry, considering this an essential step towards moving the project forward.
They also agreed that the original urbanisation project should be reviewed, as parts of it had become outdated from a technical, administrative and financial perspective.
Finally, several participants emphasised the importance of adapting the original technical standards, which are now considered overly ambitious, in order to develop a more realistic and financially sustainable project.
