Approval of the Special Urban Planning Plan for Canary Islands Fairgrounds

Overview

The City Council of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has officially approved the final version of the Special Urban Planning Plan for the Canary Islands Fairgrounds (SG-11), promoting its development by INFECAR.

This plan had previously undergone:

  • Initial approval
  • A public consultation
  • Extensive legal and administrative reviews, including consultations with national and regional authorities.

Public Consultation and Revisions

Public feedback was invited in late 2024, and no claims were filed during the consultation period.

The process included detailed assessments and modifications to address technical and legal inputs, particularly from the telecommunications sector.

After approval from the City Council's Urban Planning Committee and legal vetting, the plan was deemed ready for final adoption.

Significance and Impacts

This development is significant because it sets the framework for future urban expansion of the fairgrounds, which plays a vital role in the city's economy and tourism.

The plan’s approval now enables INFECAR to move forward with development projects, potentially boosting the local economy and enhancing the city's event infrastructure.

The plan will be published in official bulletins for 15 days before it comes into effect, allowing for any legal challenges to be raised within two months.

Its adoption marks an essential milestone for Las Palmas’ urban development, aligning with regional guidelines and ensuring sustainable growth in the area.
