In addition to the promotion of master, partial and special plans, it is common for municipalities to need to introduce puntual corrections in their planning, of a limited scope and easier processing. These are puntual modifications whose environmental evaluation and final approval will correspond to the regional or local administration, depending on the type of determinations affected. In the area of the Valencian Community, the legislator has been introducing corrections in the legal framework aimed at simplifying and speeding up the processing of this type of instrument, which has meant giving the town halls capacities that they did not have before. The most notable change has been to attribute to the local Administration the capacity to resolve the environmental and territorial evaluation and the definitive approval of the planning modifications that exclusively affect urban and developable land and meet certain conditions.
The new scenario supposes, for the municipalities that wish to modify their general planning, to have greater capacities and gain in agility, but it also entails responsibilities that they did not have before and requires highly specialized technical advice. In this field, AUG-ARQUITECTOS, SLP stands out for providing comprehensive advice and being behind several puntual modifications promoted by two municipalities. Thus, in March 2022 the processes of public exposure and consultation of the Specific Modifications of Fuentes de Ayódar (Castellón) and Catadau (Valencia) have been completed and the environmental evaluation of the modifications of the master plans of Montanejos and Bejís (in Castellón) and Cofrentes (in Valencia). The team is also going to address puntual modifications in Navajas and Zucaina (both in Castellón) and is studying another one in a municipality in Alicante.
The growing demand for these services and the participation of the company show the interest of local administrations in this type of planning instrument and the leadership of AUG-ARQUITECTOS, SLP in the sector, offering quality advice, highly valued by our clients. Which explains why only in the last year seven municipalities have asked the company to be in charge of drafting specific planning modifications.
