Carboneras opens the door to the demolition of the Algarrobico by annulling the license that authorized its construction

El PaísIndependent🔒Center2 days ago

The town council of Carboneras in Almeria has approved the annulment of the construction permit granted in 2003 for the Algarrobico Hotel, located within the Natural Park of Cabo de Gata. This decision follows a ruling by the High Court of Justice of Andalusia, which gave the municipality 20 days to revoke the authorization after the council had postponed a vote on the matter due to votes from PSOE members. The annulment is crucial for potentially demolishing the building, which symbolizes reckless urban speculation along the coast. However, the process could take years if the developer, Azata del Sol, decides to appeal the decision through administrative and judicial channels. The vote was passed by seven votes in favor, with four council members absent during the vote, including two PSOE members, an independent, and a former PP member. The division within the PSOE group is evident, as three of their six representatives supported the revocation despite having been expelled from the national party leadership for supporting the earlier postponement.
