AUG-ARQUITECTOS, SLP has delivered the Benaguasil Consolidated Planning Text to the Benaguasil City Council (Valencia) and to the Information and Urban Analysis Service of the Department of Territorial Policy, Public Works and Mobility. This document has been prepared with a grant granted by the Ministry that has covered all the fees and is part of ORDER 4/2021, of September 3, of the Department of Territorial Policy, Public Works and Mobility, by which The regulatory bases for the granting of aid for municipalities of the Valencian Community for the modernization and transparency of current urban planning are approved and the granting of aid for the 2021 financial year is announced.
As stated in the ORDER, “one of the priority objectives of the Generalitat, through the Department of Territorial Policy, Public Works and Mobility, is to promote transparency in current urban planning. For these purposes, the administration must ensure that municipal urban information is updated to the main current urban parameters and characteristics and, thereby, increase transparency and facilitate access to public information on the matter”.
The work carried out responds to a pioneering initiative in the Valencian Community and will allow the Benaguasil City Council, companies, citizens and sectoral organizations to access planning collected in a single document that integrates the great disparity of planning instruments (Subsidiary Regulations of 1996, 13 specific modifications and 17 development instruments). The Consolidated Text comprises a written part and a graphic part and its elaboration has required a meticulous work of analysis, evaluation, detection of errors, cartographic corrections and supervision by the technicians of the Conselleria and the town hall. All this, without altering the normative content of the current planning, since the consolidated text is only informative and is not a management instrument.
