Arteixo registers the detailed study of La Zapateira in the regional registry

The Arteixo City Council has concluded the processing of the Detail Study that readjusts alignments, adjusts interior levels, and reorganizes volumes in phase 2 of the Zapateira 1 partial plan, promoted by Invertia Estate, S.L., with final approval in the plenary session and its registration in the Registry of Land Management and Urban Planning of Galicia. The Official Gazette of the Province of A Coruña published the full regulations and ordinances of the document on September 28, 2026 (number 185), under announcement number 2026/6185. An administrative appeal against the approved provisions may be filed before the High Court of Justice of Galicia within two months from the day following publication.

A process in two stages

The file, processed under reference 2024/U051/000001, accumulates two plenary pronouncements and one regional registration:

• The Plenary of the Arteixo City Council, in an ordinary session on January 29, 2026, adopted the agreement for final approval, personally notified to the interested parties and announced in the DOG number 74, of April 22, 2026.
• The Plenary, in an ordinary session on June 30, 2026, adopted the agreement for the second final approval of the same document.
• By resolution of the General Directorate of Urbanism on August 4, 2026, the registration in the regional registry was carried out under number ROTPG/P/60/2026, Section II, Book I, Volume V, registration page number 98.

The announcement was signed on September 22, 2026, in Arteixo by the councilor delegated in Urbanism matters, Luis Alberto Castro Calvete, by delegation of the mayor (Decree 1243/2025, of May 8, 2025).

What is reorganized and with what areas

The scope of the study covers 114 private plots and part of a public plot, with a combined area of 47,139.86 square meters:

• 114 private cadastral plots, with 41,786.21 m², all owned by Invertia Estate, S.L., upon which the readjustment of alignments, the adjustment of interior levels, and the reorganization of volumes are operated.
• Part of the municipal public plot called “Espacios Libres”, with 5,353.65 m² and registration estate number 30898 in the name of the Arteixo City Council, in which only alignments and levels are readjusted.
• Buildability assigned by typology: 211.72 m² for detached housing plots, 137.45 m² for semi-detached housing, and 125.21 m² for terraced housing.

None of the plots included in the scope are built upon nor do they house any construction. The objective is to correct the steep slope of the plots relative to the planned roads, adjusting the implementation levels of the volumes to the physical reality of the terrain.

Background and legal limits

The instrument is developed under article 79.1 a) and b) of Law 2/2016, of February 10, on the soil of Galicia, and article 192.1 of Decree 143/2016, of September 22, which approves its regulation. The master plan, the Partial Plan “Zapateira-1”, was definitively approved on September 29, 1997, with the regulations published in BOP number 245, of October 26, 1998; the compensation project was approved on January 28, 1999 and the urbanization project on May 31, 1999, with the reception of the works formalized on December 5, 2005.

The report from the General Secretary of the City Council of Arteixo dated January 9, 2024 recognizes that the abandonment of the urbanization for two decades has deteriorated the facilities, such that most of the unbuilt plots lack the urban services necessary to have the status of a building plot, although the land maintains the classification of consolidated urban land. The document justifies that it does not alter the urban purpose, does not increase the utilization, does not reduce roads or public facilities, does not open public-use roads, does not increase occupancy or heights, does not subdivide the land, and does not create new uses or ordinances.

Sectoral impacts and appeal process

The area is affected by aeronautical easements of the A Coruña Airport, located approximately 3,500 meters to the east, therefore any construction, installation, or planting requires prior favorable agreement from the State Aviation Safety Agency (AESA); the file incorporates a favorable report from the General Directorate of Civil Aviation. Furthermore, the lands are located in the alert zone of the A Grela-Bens external emergency plan and in the transition zone of the Mariñas Coruñesas and Terras do Mando Biosphere Reserve. The proposed acoustic zoning classifies the private plots as type “a” area, predominantly residential, without conflict zones.

The publication of the regulations closes the administrative route and moves the debate to the courts: interested parties have two months, counted from the day following the publication in the provincial bulletin, to challenge it directly before the High Court of Justice of Galicia.
