THE TERRITORIAL COMMISSION OF URBANISM OF CASTELLÓN APPROVES THE GENERAL STRUCTURAL PLAN OF TORRECHIVA


The Territorial Planning Commission of Castellón, in session held on November 29, 2019, approved the General Structural Plan of Torrechiva, drafted by AUG-ARQUITECTOS, SLP. This master plan is the first approved in the province of Castellón, adapted to the current Valencian urban law.

This resolution completes a long and complex work, promoted by the municipality of Torrechiva in the year 2000 and in which two other professional teams participated, before the work was entrusted to AUG-ARQUITECTOS, SLP. When it began its participation, in 2016, only a Reference Document was issued, three years earlier, in relation to a draft for 2010. The work carried out by the company has allowed the adaptation of the General Structural Plan to the current national and regional legislation. The plan is committed to a content and compact model, without raising more growth than materialized, in practice, when in 2016 the drafting of the plan was resumed. This represents a percentage of sealed soil of only 0.44% of the municipal area, while of 99.56% of the remaining land, 80.90% is protected. This high percentage, which will undoubtedly limit the possible activities to be implemented in the ordered territory, is the result of the concurrence of multiple supramunicipal protection figures.

After the approval of the General Structural Plan, the AUG-ARQUITECTOS, SLP team is already working on the drafting of the Detailed Management Plan, with the aim of presenting the Draft of the same and its Strategic Initial Document in the coming months.
