They reject all arguments

The magistrates dismissed all of the allegations offered by the plaintiffs, beginning with the primary, contemplating that the city alteration carried out via the particular modification of the General Urban Planning Plan “adopted the suitable process”, because it was a “mere modification of the present planning and never a revision of the PGOUM of 1997”.

“The selection of the processed process is justified in accordance with the provisions of articles 67.1, 68.1 and 69.1 of the LSCM, within the first place as a result of its territorial scope, which is proscribed in its administration to 2 earlier planning areas (APR 08.03 “Prolongación de la Castellana” and the APE 05.27 “Colonia Campamento”), by no means coincides with that of the integrity of the territorial house of the municipality of Madrid, constituting solely a really small territorial house of the municipality, bearing in mind the worldwide dimension of the territory municipality,” he says.

And, secondly, as a result of the questioned modification “doesn’t suggest a change of such magnitude that it impacts the general group of the POGOUM of 1997 in such a method as to make it essential to fully rethink it, even within the partial method that the plaintiff claims”.

“The alteration of the weather of the structuring association that it entails -advances the sentence-, doesn’t suggest, in any method, a modification of the territorial mannequin adopted, whose concurrence is required each in article 68.3 of the LSCM and in article 154 of the Regulation of Urban Planning (RPU)”.

‘Regeneration targets are maintained’

The magistrates level out that the present modification doesn’t alter the classification of the land; doesn’t entail a big enhance in buildable space for financial actions; and gives for a buildable space for backed housing of round 20.78 p.c, when the earlier common planning didn’t set up a minimal reserve for this kind of housing.

Regarding the allegation referring to using the land at present assigned to the general public railway area and the location of an enormous concrete slab on which many of the inexperienced areas of the event will probably be implanted, the Court maintains that “the brand new land that generated by the protection of the railway system is registrable, in accordance with Royal Decree 1.1 1093/1997, on the registration within the Property Registry of Acts of an Urban Nature.”

Therefore, the magistrates dismissed the allegation raised by not incurring an infringement or misuse of energy, “being legally and urbanistically justified the remedy that within the administration is attributed to the so-called ‘slab’ of the railway land”.
