Moya Town Council Approves Building Regulations Modification

Overview

The Moya town council has approved the initial plan to modify building regulations on Calle Benecharo, turning some properties from two-story row houses to a configuration with semi-interior patios. This move aims to accommodate local urban renewal efforts and preserve the area's architectural character.

Public Consultation

Public consultation will run for one month, starting with the official publication in the Canary Islands Official Bulletin. During this period:

  • Authorities and affected parties will be able to review the proposal
  • Stakeholders can submit feedback or objections

Transparency and Community Engagement

The council emphasizes transparency by placing the detailed plan at the municipal technical office, where residents can review it by appointment. This process allows:

  • Community engagement before finalizing the project
  • A platform for local residents to have a voice in shaping their neighborhood

Broader Context

This initiative reflects ongoing efforts by Moya to balance heritage preservation with urban development.

For expats and newcomers, it signals the local government's openness to community input and a proactive approach to urban planning, fostering a more inclusive and participatory city environment.
