Puerto del Rosario Updates Its Urban Plan
Overview
The town hall of Puerto del Rosario has officially announced that it is beginning a process to update its General Urban Plan, specifically focusing on increasing land use in La Cornisa Norte. This move follows a court ruling from November 2021 that mandates adjustments to how development potential is calculated. The municipality, working alongside Fuerteventura’s Environmental Evaluation Body, aims to streamline procedures and finalize this modification by late 2026.
Key Measures
- Suspending permits for new construction or demolition projects within the affected area until the plan's initial approval.
- Ensuring compliance with the judicial decision to prevent legal conflicts or construction that could hinder the revised plan’s implementation.
Process Timeline
- Initial approval by December 2025.
- Public consultations in early 2026.
- Final adoption by July 2026.
Transparency and Stakeholder Engagement
The town hall emphasizes transparency by notifying all stakeholders and publishing decisions externally.
Summary
This effort reflects Puerto del Rosario’s commitment to adapting urban development in line with legal rulings while balancing growth and regulation.
