Annex II details 21 excluded applications for failing to meet the conditions of the Regulatory Bases or lacking the technical report prior to the start of the works. The most frequent reasons are:

• Withdrawal of the application.

• Denial under Article 9, regarding objective criteria of technical and constructive coherence.
• Lack of technical report or incomplete documentation.

Impact for Applicants

The closing of the call for applications leaves out a significant number of homeowners’ associations and individuals who aimed to finance conservation works in buildings of heritage value in Logroño. Applicants denied due to the exhaustion of funds may assess their situation during the next call, while those excluded must rectify the technical or documentary requirements indicated in the agreement.
