The Councillor for Urbanism, Isabel
Bolufer has met with a team from the
Valencian Department of Housing,
Public Works who are developing the
Plan of Action for the Coastal Green
Infrastructure (Pativel).
The Coastal
Protection Study
means there will be
no new building
approvals before
November within
500 metres of the
coastline
This
initiative, announced by
the Valencian Regional Government
last November, aims to preserve
and protect the Valencian coastline
from predatory urban development.
As explained by the Councillor, the
meeting, which included Paco
Torres the Councillor for Urbanism,
was an opportunity to discuss how
the regulations will affect the coast
-line of Javea.
It was also an opportunity to feedback to Valencia how the citizens and
Council of Javea manage each of the
areas along the coast to protect them
and how each newly proposed urban
plan (building application) is dealt
with and developed.
The results of the visit to Javea will
be added to other studies by the
Ministry who are collating the data
needed for the decree to be submitted for approval, defining the categories for protection and how it will
be applied. Therefore, until November this year the approval of all new
building programs for development
are suspended if they are within 500
meters of the coastal strip.
