On 28 October 1977<\/span>, Francisco Lebasque, the developer behind Planas del Rey, sent a letter from Toulouse to the mayor of Pratdip announcing his decision to donate a substantial part of the development\u2019s infrastructure and facilities to the Town Council.<\/p>\n Almost nine years after the first steps taken in 1968, the document shows that the developer was still seeking to transfer Planas del Rey\u2019s roads, networks and several shared facilities to the municipality.<\/p>\n The list of assets Francisco Lebasque proposes to donate to the Town Council is extensive.<\/p>\n It includes:<\/p>\n The proposal therefore concerns far more than a few plots or green areas: it covers a substantial part of Planas del Rey\u2019s shared facilities and infrastructure.<\/p>\n Francisco Lebasque states that all property owners in Planas del Rey should continue to have the right to use the development\u2019s services once they are managed by Pratdip Town Council, subject to payment of the corresponding charges under whatever arrangements the municipality considers appropriate.<\/p>\n He also suggests, without making it a condition of the donation, that staff assigned to these services should be recruited entirely from among residents of the municipality of Pratdip.<\/p>\n The developer also asks the mayor to do everything possible to keep down the costs associated with the sewage treatment plant then being required by the authorities.<\/p>\n The document is particularly explicit about the developer\u2019s intention to go beyond a simple statement of intent.<\/p>\n Francisco Lebasque declares himself fully available to sign the documents and deeds required to formalise the donation<\/span>. He even states that he will be in Pratdip on 22, 23 and 24 November 1977 for this purpose.<\/p>\n He wishes the donation to take effect on 1 January 1978<\/span>.<\/p>\n The letter therefore clearly shows that, in October 1977, the developer intended to move towards the formal legal completion of the donation in favour of the municipality.<\/p>\n This document is an important piece of Planas del Rey\u2019s administrative history, but its legal significance needs to be assessed carefully.<\/p>\n It establishes Francisco Lebasque\u2019s decision to donate the listed assets to the Town Council and his willingness to sign the documents required to complete the process.<\/p>\n However, the letter does not, by itself, prove that the Town Council accepted the donation or that the legal transfer of all these assets was ultimately completed<\/span>.<\/p>\n Establishing that would require the corresponding acceptance decisions, any notarial deeds and the relevant entries in the Land Registry.<\/p>\n This letter forms part of the continuing efforts initiated in 1968. At that time, the property owners had requested the transfer of several services, Francisco Lebasque had formally submitted this request and the Town Council had sought the opinion of the provincial authorities.<\/p>\n
