The text expressly warns that, should no objections be presented, once the public information period has elapsed, “the project, which until then was provisional, shall be understood as definitively approved.”

Legal basis and access to the file

The opening of this procedure is supported by Article 93 of the Recast Text of the Legal Provisions in Force regarding Local Government, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 781/1986, of April 18, in relation to Article 83.2 of Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations, and Article 33 of Law 8/2001, of July 12, on the Roads of Andalusia.

Furthermore, and in accordance with articles 7 a) and 13.1 e) of Law 1/2014, of June 24, on Public Transparency of Andalusia, the project will be publicized throughout the public information period on the Provincial Council’s transparency portal. The consultation can be carried out at the web address of the provincial electronic office enabled for the public exhibition of construction projects.

Impact on neighbors and owners

The announcement directly affects residents in the vicinity of the two roads subject to improvement and, specifically, the owners of land that may be affected by the expropriation needs of the project. The inclusion of environmental and expropriation effects in the same procedure allows those affected to submit observations regarding both the layout and characteristics of the work, as well as the impacts on their plots.

The publication in the Official Gazette of the Province of Córdoba marks the beginning of the countdown for the deadline, such that any interested party wishing to intervene must do so within 20 business days following the date of the announcement. The improvement of these two roads in Puente Genil corresponds to the line of action in infrastructure and sustainability directly managed by the first vice-president of the provincial institution, Andrés Lorite Lorite.
