Development Plan for Arinaga Port Service Zone

Approval and Purpose

The town hall of Agüimes has given the green light to an initial version of a new development plan for the Arinaga Port Service Zone. This move aims to shape future growth around the port area, which is a crucial hub for local commerce and tourism.

Public Consultation Phase

Following this initial approval on May 26, the plan enters a public consultation phase lasting one month, starting with its publication in the Official Bulletin of the Canary Islands. During this period, residents, businesses, and relevant authorities can review the technical documents and submit feedback.

Regulatory Measures

In a significant regulatory step, the council has also announced an automatic suspension of issuing new building permits in areas affected by the plan’s proposed changes.

"This measure ensures that new construction aligns with current rules until the future regulations are formally adopted."

The process remains open and transparent, with documents accessible online and at the local municipal offices.

Significance

Although this is a preliminary step, it marks an important phase in shaping local development and infrastructure, impacting how the port zone evolves and possibly affecting nearby residents and businesses.
