Benidorm deprograms the tertiary sector APR-3 at the request of the land owners

Benidorm City Council is going to resolve by mutual agreement and at the request of the owners the urban programming planned in the tertiary sector APR-3, which is located in the area where Comunidad Valenciana Avenue meets Severo Ocho and l’Assagador de Ricardo. The proposal of the Councillor for Urban Planning, Lourdes Caselles, will be decided next week in the information committee as a previous step to the plenary approval.

Caselles explained that this sector of urban land “was pending development for more than 20 years and without any signs of activity and hence the City Council, with the regulations in hand, has agreed to the deprogramming requested by the Urban Interest Group (AIU) to which in 2001 the condition of the urbanizing agent was awarded and in which a good part of the owners of the land was integrated”.

The head of Urban Planning has indicated that “this resolution process has entailed a certain complexity since the more than 20 years that have passed since the program was awarded have made it difficult to locate some owners who were not within the group but who were interested parties.” This difficulty led to the file expiring and restarting. However, once these owners were located, they raised no objections.

Caselles has indicated that “once this land has been deprogrammed, the door is opened for the City Council to grant provisional work or activity licenses in this area, one of the main entrances to Benidorm.”

The agreement that the plenary will vote on also includes the return of the guarantee presented at the time by the AIU, which amounts to just over 153,000 euros.
