Issue of illegal houses in Chiclana and Córdoba is yet to be resolved
Wednesday, 18 January 2012

Source: EL PAÍS        15th January 2012

The decree approved last week by the Junta de Andalucia is seen by many as a means of providing a legal solution to the dozens of thousands of illegally built properties in this autonomous region. In the majority of cases, the ministry for Public Works and Housing proposes "acknowledgement" of these individual properties which would be recognised legally and allow them to find a way out of their current legal 'limbo'.

 
Junta decree criticised

From Chiclana, where the council is faced with the task of legalising 15,000 illegal houses, town planning delegate, Andrés Núñez, (PP) said the that the decree "is, by any reckoning, complex, ambiguous and contradictory and the most serious thing is that - at first glance - it does not seem to solve the problem of these illegal homes." He added that he thought "the document has obviously been thought up with electioneering in mind."

PVRE denounces "hidden" way in which interim planning regulations were written.
Tuesday, 10 January 2012

Source: Diario de Cádiz   9th January 2012

The PVRE yesterday denounced what it saw as the council's failure to find a consensus when it came to writing up the Provisional Planning Regulations, a document which, the party claims, has been obtained from sources outside the council and which "judging by its content has been written up by staff from the town planning department."
