Compromís per Pego has communicated that the Ministry of Climate Emergency and Ecological Transition has officially announced the expiration of the Environmental Impact Statement (DIA) approved in 2008, which allowed the reallocation of land and started the Immediate Action Plan (PAI). of Pego Golf.
According to the Pegolí Valencian group, in a notification issued this afternoon, it has been reported that said environmental impact statement has lost its validity, since it was approved under legislation that has been repealed and no longer reflects the current reality. The Generalitat's legal profession, supported by the urban planning laws of the Valencian Community (TRLOTUP), as well as by state legislation and the DIA itself approved at the time, has shown that the necessary urbanization works have never been carried out, which has led to its expiration and cancellation after the passage of sufficient time.
Therefore, according to the reports prepared by the City Council technicians, who stated that "in the hypothetical case that the expiration of this DIA is declared by the competent regional body, after January 1, 2023, this could imply, In the event that the provisions of the Thirtieth Transitory Provision of the TRLOTUP are considered applicable, the loss of validity of the planning instrument and the cessation of its effects”, the position defended by Compromís per Pego during all these years is supported.
Thus, the Ministry of Ecological Transition intends to avoid situations such as the one that recently occurred in Doñana, in relation to the Pego-Oliva Marjal Natural Park, attached to the location where it was planned to build a golf course and a macro urbanization with 1.300 homes.
Now, therefore, it is necessary for the General Directorate of Urbanism to finally declare the validity of the Pego Golf partial plan, "since it would make no sense or legal certainty for a project from twenty years ago to continue in force with an expired DIA, which in Currently, it would not comply with any legal requirement”, they affirm.
