Important information for property owners in Planas del Rey
Regarding the latest letter from the Pratdip Town Hall
Dear property owners,
Following the recent letter sent by the Pratdip Town Hall, which some of you received by registered mail and others by hand (with insistence on immediate signature), we wish to provide some essential clarifications.
The Town Hall refuses to fulfill its obligations
The Pratdip Town Hall refuses to provide the minimum services we are entitled to. And it is doing everything possible to evade this responsibility.
Rather than fulfilling its duties, it seeks to force us to carry out works, as if the EUCC still existed:
- Without subsidies
- Without financial support from the Town Hall
- Without help from local authorities
- 100% at your expense!
A strategy based on questionable claims
To justify its position, the Town Hall continues to claim that:
The convention is still valid
The reparcellation project has been approved by the Urban Planning Directorate and the Tarragona Land Registry
But a major obstacle remains:
The Falset land registry office (cadastre), which refuses to register the project due to the numerous irregularities it contains.
Even worse:
The Town Hall has never informed this office that the EUCC has been dissolved — which we ourselves had to do urgently.
Irresponsible behavior
It is unacceptable that the Town Hall, to whom we pay the IBI tax every year, continues to shirk its basic responsibilities.
We are fully entitled to expect at least minimum services in return.
About the requested signature
The act of signing or not signing the letter in no way implies your agreement with its content.
You have 30 days from receipt to file an appeal.
If you do sign, date the document clearly to avoid any ambiguity.
Update as of 12 January 2018
Thanks to Mr. Oscar Serrano, municipal councillor, who took the initiative to meet with an official from the Falset land registry 48 hours after receiving the letter, we learned that:
- The Town Hall had still not informed the registry of the dissolution of the EUCC
- An appeal against the Town Hall’s reparcellation is currently underway in the Madrid court
- The Town Hall has never updated its project to comply with current laws and regulations
What your signature means
The signature you place on the document only confirms receipt of the letter.
It does not signify acceptance of its content, especially considering:
- The letter is written only in Catalan, a language many of us do not understand
- Yet, there are two official languages in Catalonia: Catalan and Castilian (Spanish)
- We are therefore fully entitled to demand a translation into Castilian
We remain available for any questions or assistance with your procedures.
