Urban Development and Fuel Infrastructure Planning in San Cristóbal de La Laguna

Approved Urban Plan for New Fuel Station

The San Cristóbal de La Laguna local government has approved a detailed urban plan for establishing a new fuel station between the streets of Manjón, Travesía del Padre Manjón, and Luis Vives.

• The plan was initially approved on May 20, 2025.
• It was officially endorsed on October 14, 2025.
• This approval took place amid a formal public consultation phase.

Significance of the Project

This development signals the city’s efforts to:

• Expand fuel infrastructure.
• Adhere to new environmental and safety standards.

Notably, the project must comply with the Canary Islands' energy transition rules, which require:

• The station to include at least a 50 kW electric vehicle charging point.
• All construction to avoid encroaching on aviation safety zones.

Public Participation and Regulatory Framework

Before final approval, the public can submit comments:

• During a one-month period.
• Through local publications and online platforms.

Additionally, there will be a temporary suspension of new construction licenses within the designated area:

• Duration: Up to one year.
• Purpose: To ensure thorough review of the plan.

Broader Implications

This move reflects the city's commitment to:

• Modern infrastructure development.
• Sustainable development aligned with regional policies on climate change and energy transition.

The plan will undergo further administrative and environmental assessments before final permits are granted.
