Alhendín definitively approves the modification of the PGOU for sector SUB-03

The Plenary Session of the Alhendín City Council definitively approved on July 31, 2026, the Innovation-Modification of the General Urban Development Plan (PGOU) regarding sector SUB-03, a file opened in 2021 under number 3608/2021. The agreement is now published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Granada no. 219, dated November 12, 2026, with the official reference BOP-GRA-2026-219007, accompanied by the articles and the graphic documentation of the planning instrument. The publication occupies pages 19 to 134 of the gazette and follows the deposit and registration of the text in the regional and municipal registries.

The approved text is the consolidated version from June 2026 of the innovation, consisting of the report and two series of plans: I.01 to I.04 and 01 to 15. The publication is carried out in compliance with articles 40.3 and 41.1 and 2 of Law 7/2002, of December 17, on Urban Planning of Andalusia, in force by the third transitional provision of Law 7/2021, of December 1, and article 110 of Decree 550/2022, of November 29, which requires prior deposit in the Regional Registry of urban planning instruments and in the Municipal Registry Book of planning instruments, urban agreements, and cataloged assets and spaces.

A five-year process and several rulings

The file has accumulated a processing period of more than five years since its opening, with these stages documented in the agreement now published:

• February 23, 2023: the Plenary initially approves the modification and agrees to inform neighborhood representatives as a complementary means of dissemination.
• July 26, 2024: new approval of the document in a plenary session.
• July 4, 2025: the Plenary approves the non-substantial modifications introduced and establishes the consolidated text.
• July 11, 2025: the file is referred to the Secretary of State for Telecommunications and Digital Infrastructure of the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Civil Service for the report under article 50.2 of Law 11/2022, of June 28, General Telecommunications Law, issued with a favorable opinion on August 21, 2025.
• October 14, 2025: the complete file is sent to the Territorial Delegation in Granada of the Ministry of Development, Territorial Articulation and Housing of the Regional Government of Andalusia for the mandatory prior report under article 31.2.C of the LOUA, with a one-month deadline.
• March 2, 2026: the Territorial Delegation issues a favorable report, although conditioned on the correction of the deficiencies noted in its observations before final approval.
• June 19, 2026: the Fernando Vallejo Architecture Studio submits the consolidated text report and the plans to the City Council.
• June 29, 2026: the Municipal Technical Architect provides a favorable report on the documentation.
• July 2 and 9, 2026: the legal reports from the General Administration Technician and the Secretary General are completed, in addition to the documentation diligence of July 6.

The municipal technical report expressly links the new documentation to the “strict compliance with the judicial ruling of the TSJA” and maintains that the consolidated text integrates the determinations of the reports from the Regional Government of Andalusia, the Guadalquivir Hydrographic Confederation, the Health Impact Assessment, and the Aeronautical Defense guidelines.

Prior meeting with the homeowners’ associations

The agreement incorporates the participation process agreed upon by the Plenary on February 23, 2023, for an already consolidated residential area. The Delegated Councilor for Urban Planning, via a letter dated September 12, 2025, convened the presidents of the homeowners’ associations of sector SUB-03 and their administrators to a meeting held on September 18, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. in the Plenary Hall of the City Council, where the content of the innovation and the appropriateness of its processing were explained.

Deposit, publication and appeal

The approved agreements order the documentation to be sent to the Autonomous Registry and the municipal registry for deposit and registration, the agreement and the articles to be published in the provincial bulletin, certification to be sent to the Territorial Delegation of the Junta, and the Mayor’s Office to be authorized for the necessary acts of execution. The text also remains available to interested parties on the municipal electronic office.

Against the agreement, which exhausts administrative remedies, a contentious-administrative appeal may be filed before the corresponding judicial body within a period of two months starting from the day following the publication of the notice in the Official Bulletin of the Province.

The final approval closes a file that had been open for five years and unlocks the detailed planning of a consolidated residential sector of Alhendín, where urban planning regulations condition licenses, works, and uses of the homeowners’ associations in the area. The two-month period to appeal now opens the final avenue for challenge for those affected.
