Public information on the expropriations of the Vega de Alcozar industrial estate

The General Directorate of Infrastructure and Circular Economy of the Regional Government of Castilla y León has initially approved the hydraulic infrastructure project linked to the “Vega de Alcozar” industrial estate, in Langa de Duero (Soria), and is submitting the list of affected owners, assets, and rights for public review. The resolution, signed on November 3, 2026, by the director general Cristina Frías Rivera, is published in the Official Gazette of Castilla y León no. 217, of November 10, 2026 (BOCYL-D-10112026-217-26), and opens a fifteen-day period for submitting allegations.

The file originates from the Regional Plan of territorial scope of the estate, approved by Order MAV/938/2025, of August 12, published in the Official Gazette of Castilla y León on August 22, 2025, and promoted by the Public Infrastructure and Environment Company of Castilla y León (SOMACYL). The plan jointly organizes the developable land called “Vega de Alcozar,” classified by the current Municipal Urban Planning Regulations of Langa de Duero, grouping existing sectors to generate large-scale industrial plots and concentrate the area’s endowment transfers.

To develop the estate, it is necessary to execute works for the supply of drinking water, an outfall with wastewater treatment, and a stormwater outfall. This is the objective of the hydraulic infrastructure project, the execution of which involves the occupation of land and requires the processing of the corresponding compulsory expropriation file.

The legal coverage of the occupation

The resolution is based on articles 17 and 18 of the Law of December 16, 1954, on compulsory expropriation and on article 134 of Royal Decree 1098/2001, of October 12, which approves the General Regulation of the Public Administration Contracts Law. Furthermore, article 41 of Law 21/2002, of December 27, on Economic, Fiscal, and Administrative Measures, establishes that water supply and sanitation works projects imply a declaration of public utility and the need for urgent occupation of assets and the acquisition of corresponding rights.

The competence of the signing body derives from Decree 14/2026, of June 29, which establishes the organic structure of the Department of Environment and Energy, and the file incorporates the technical regulations required by article 233 of Law 9/2017, of November 8, on Public Sector Contracts.

Nine plots and 21,901 square meters

The annex of the resolution details nine affected plots, with a total area of 21,901 square meters in ownership, distributed among the areas of Zapatera, Horadillos, Cañada, and V Zarza. Six of the owners are private individuals and three of the properties belong to the Langa de Duero City Council:

• Plot 33-321 (42169B03300321), Zapatera: Roberto Redondo García, 12,020 m² of dryland farming or cropland.
• Plot 33-322 (42169B03300322), Zapatera: Santiago Zayas Sancho, 2,392 m² of dryland farming or cropland.
• Plot 29-16 (42169F02900016), Horadillos: Esteban Santos Santa, 24 m² of dryland farming or cropland.
• Plot 29-17 (42169F02900017), Horadillos: Heirs of Emilia Esteban Santos, 20 m² of dryland farming or cropland.
• Plot 29-18 (42169F02900018), Horadillos: Heirs of Eusebia Constantina Pérez Medrano, 1,073 m² of dryland farming or cropland.

• Plot 29-20 (42169F02900020), Horadillos: Langa de Duero City Council, 1,180 m² of dryland farming or cropland.
• Plot 29-9009 (42169A02909009), Cañada: Langa de Duero City Council, 1,127 m² of public domain communication route.
• Plot 29-6145 (42169A02906145), V Zarza: Langa de Duero City Council, 2,820 m² of timber pine forest.

Fifteen days and four publication channels

The public information period extends for fifteen days. Within this period, any interested party may provide in writing the necessary data to rectify possible errors in the published list and oppose, for substantive or formal reasons, the need for occupation. The list will be published on the notice board of the Langa de Duero City Council, in the newspaper with the widest circulation in the area, in the Official Gazette of Castilla y León, and in the Official Gazette of the Province of Soria.

The documentation can be consulted on the website of the Junta de Castilla y León, in the section for hearing procedures and public information of the open government portal. Observations and allegations must be addressed to the General Directorate of Infrastructure and Circular Economy and submitted at any of the registries provided for in article 16.4 of Law 39/2015, of October 1.

The procedure is decisive for the affected owners: the declaration of urgent occupation that supports this type of hydraulic works allows the Administration to take possession of the land without waiting for a prior agreement on the price, such that the fifteen-day period is the opportunity to correct cadastral data or dispute the propriety of the occupation before the preliminary record is drawn up. The project affects an industrial area called to reorganize the developable land of Langa de Duero, with impacts ranging from 20 square meters of a rural estate to five plots exceeding one thousand meters.
