For decades, the various mayors of Pratdip have repeated the same falsehoods to justify the abandonment of our urbanisation. A tale of historical fiction<\/span> maintained to avoid fulfilling their legal obligations.<\/p>\n

1. \u201cPlanas is private\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

No mayor of Pratdip has ever been able to provide a single official document proving that Planas is a private urbanisation. Despite numerous requests, there is no written record, no decree, no legal basis.<\/p>\n

On the contrary, we possess a municipal decree dated December 1968<\/a> confirming the integration of Planas into the municipality as of January 1969.<\/p>\n

In the file submitted by the Town Hall to the TSJC in 2013, which led to the dissolution of the EUCC, the word \u201cprivate\u201d does not appear once. Had the Town Hall been able to prove this status, it would have won the case \u2014 and the EUCC would still exist today.<\/p>\n

Claiming is not enough. It must be proven.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

2. \u201cPlanas was never completed\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

True, some roads were never paved and some connections are not hooked up. But this is a technical disagreement<\/span> between the Town Hall and the developer Francis Lebasque, which has never been settled by a court.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the Town Hall has issued numerous building permits<\/span> (Clavel, Orquid\u00e9a, Glaiolo\u2026). Yet permits cannot legally be granted in an unfinished urbanisation. By doing so, the Town Hall recognised that Planas is urban consolidated land<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\n

3. \u201cPlanas was never officially accepted\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n

This is true. But in 1987, it was the Town Hall itself that created the EUCC<\/span> to avoid assuming its responsibilities. It granted itself five years to carry out a redevelopment… which was never completed.<\/p>\n

In 2016, the TSJC ordered the definitive dissolution of the EUCC<\/span>. Since a legal void cannot exist, the Town Hall, as the overseeing authority, is now legally required<\/span> to ensure minimum public services in Planas.<\/p>\n

This obligation was recognised and voted on by the municipal council in October 2016 \u2014 despite the mayor\u2019s opposition.<\/p>\n

\n

4. Two rulings, two obligations<\/span><\/h2>\n

The mayor claims he cannot apply the dissolution dated 21 July 2016 because of another ruling issued the day before (20 July) concerning reparcelling. He argues that the latter assumes the existence of the EUCC.<\/p>\n

But the TSJC confirmed that both rulings, although issued a day apart, are independent, final, and must both be applied<\/span>.<\/p>\n

On the 20th, three judges review a redevelopment project while the EUCC still exists. On the 21st, three other judges dissolve it. The result: redevelopment must now be led by the Town Hall<\/span>.<\/p>\n

This is what all neighbouring municipalities do, such as Mont-roig (Masos d\u2019en Blader) or Hospitalet (Vanessa Park). It is the normal, legal and fair process.<\/p>\n

What is the mayor afraid of? That the Town Hall will have to do its job: seek subsidies, include the works in the municipal budget, and contribute financially<\/span> to the redevelopment.<\/p>\n

For the property owners of Planas, this is a relief: instead of paying 100% of the works (i.e., \u20ac25,000 for a 1,000 m\u00b2 plot), their contribution would fall to 30 or 50%.<\/p>\n

\n

The EUCC has been dissolved since 2016<\/span><\/h2>\n

Since 21 July 2016<\/span>, the EUCC no longer exists.<\/p>\n

This dissolution is confirmed by:<\/p>\n
