Baena opens its urban inspection plan until 2030 for public consultation

The Baena City Council has initially approved the Municipal Urban Inspection Plan (PMIU 2026-2030), an instrument that is now subject to public information and a hearing for interested parties for 30 business days. The agreement was adopted by the municipal Plenary in a session held on October 29, 2026, and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Córdoba on this November 12, 2026, with official reference BOP-A-2026-3813.

The announcement, which occupies pages 16122 and 16123 of the gazette within the Local Administration section, details that the initial approval covers the plan and its Annexes I to XI of standardized documentation. The processing is supported by article 343.3 of the General Regulation of Law 7/2021, of December 1, for the Promotion of Territorial Sustainability of Andalusia, approved by Decree 550/2022, of November 29, in relation to article 49 of Law 7/1985, of April 2, regulating the Bases of the Local Regime, and article 83 of Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations.

The file is open to the scrutiny of any natural or legal person, who may examine it and submit any claims, allegations, and suggestions they deem appropriate. The full text of the plan and its annexes are disseminated through three simultaneous channels, according to the edict:

• Direct download of the document in PDF format of the PMIU 2026-2030 and its Annexes I to XI.
• Consultation via the Transparency Portal of the Baena City Council, in accordance with article 7.e) of Law 19/2013, of December 9, and article 13.1.e) of Law 1/2014, of June 24, on Public Transparency of Andalusia.
• In-person consultation at the offices of the Urban Planning and Environment Department of the City Council, at Plaza de la Constitución 1, 14850 Baena (Córdoba), during public office hours.

Thirty business days to file allegations

The period for public information and hearing is thirty (30) business days and is counted from the day following the publication of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province of Córdoba, that is, from November 13, 2026. During this period, any interested party may raise objections to the document.

Claims, allegations, and suggestions must be addressed to the Mayor’s Office-Presidency and submitted through the Electronic Registry of the municipal electronic office or by any of the means provided for in article 16.4 of Law 39/2015, without prejudice to the obligation of the subjects included in article 14.2 to interact electronically.

Final approval if there are no objections

The edict also establishes the effect of administrative silence in this procedure: if no claim or suggestion is submitted within the indicated period, the agreement—until then provisional—will be understood as definitively adopted, in accordance with article 49, last paragraph, of Law 7/1985.

In that scenario, the City Council will proceed to the full publication of the text of the plan in the Official Gazette of the Province of Córdoba, for the purposes of its entry into force pursuant to article 70.2 of the same law. The announcement was signed in Baena on November 6, 2026, by the Mayor-President, María Jesús Serrano Jiménez, and bears the Secure Verification Code AD4CD66C181FB9A925BB.

The published text does not detail in the announcement the material content of the plan’s determinations nor the specific scope of each of the eleven annexes, so those details must be consulted in the case documentation.

Impact for owners and developers

The opening of this procedure opens the last relevant window for landowners, developers, and affected groups to influence an instrument called to organize the municipal inspection function regarding urban planning over the coming years. Anyone with plans for construction, subdivision, or rehabilitation within the municipal district of Baena has approximately one and a half months to review the document and submit allegations to the Mayor’s Office-Presidency; once the deadline has passed without objections, the plan will be definitively approved and published in full in the provincial gazette.
