Miajadas approves the specific modification of its general plan and suspends licenses

The Miajadas City Council has taken the first step toward reviewing its urban planning: the municipal Plenary initially approved on November 3, 2026, the Specific Modification No. 2 of the General Municipal Plan of Miajadas (Cáceres). The agreement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Cáceres number 0217, Thursday, November 12, 2026, Section I, Local Administration, pages 25426 and 25427, with official reference CVE BOP-2026-5314. The operation rewrites eleven articles of the urban regulations and entails a precautionary suspension of licenses in the new groups 4 and 5.

The approved text affects the determinations of articles 2.5.2, 2.5.4, 2.5.8, 3.2.1.21, 3.2.2.1, 3.2.2.2, 3.2.2.3, 3.2.2.5, 3.2.2.7, 3.4.4, and 3.4.5 of the Urban Regulations of the PGM. This is, therefore, an intervention distributed between chapter 2.5—which defines the land groups and their regime—and block 3.2.2, dedicated to building and use conditions, in addition to articles 3.4.4 and 3.4.5.

The announcement is signed by the mayor-president, Antonio Díaz Alías, in Miajadas on November 4, 2026, one day after the plenary agreement, and is disseminated “for general knowledge” through the provincial gazette and the municipal electronic office.

Eleven articles of the urban regulations

The modification is concentrated on a limited set of determinations from the regulatory document:

• Articles of chapter 2.5: 2.5.2, 2.5.4, and 2.5.8, which encompass the classification into groups and the regime applicable to each.
• Articles of block 3.2.2: 3.2.2.1, 3.2.2.2, 3.2.2.3, 3.2.2.5, and 3.2.2.7, relating to planning and building conditions.
• Article 3.2.1.21, within the determinations of chapter 3.2.1.
• Articles 3.4.4 and 3.4.5, in the final section of the regulations.

The plenary agreement does not yet detail the literal content of the new wording: the initially approved document, containing the full proposal, is the one made available for public inspection.

Precautionary suspension of licenses in groups 4 and 5

The Plenary also agreed to the precautionary suspension of the granting of urban planning licenses, land-use acts, and the processing of authorizations and procedures regarding the new groups 4 and 5, defined in Title 2, Chapter 2.5, Article 2.5.2 of the Urban Regulations of the PGM. The halt also applies to activities affected by the new classification.

The measure is based on article 49.c) of Law 11/2018, of December 21, on Sustainable Territorial and Urban Planning of Extremadura (LOTUS). Its maximum duration extends until the final approval of the modification, without exceeding two years, and shall take effect from the publication of the agreement in the Official Gazette of Extremadura (DOE), rather than the BOP.

One month for allegations and environmental assessment

The initially approved document is subject to public information for a period of one month, through announcements that will be inserted in the Official Gazette of Extremadura, the Official Provincial Gazette, and the municipal electronic office. During this period, any interested party may examine the file at the municipal offices and submit any allegations they deem appropriate; the documentation is also available at https://miajadas.sedelectronica.es/info.0.

In parallel, the agreement orders the documentation to be sent to the competent Environmental Body to initiate the strategic environmental assessment and request the mandatory sectoral reports. Both procedures condition the final scope of the text before final approval.

The decision directly affects landowners and developers with interests in groups 4 and 5: until the modification is resolved, no licenses or authorizations can be processed in those areas, and the month of public exhibition is the only window to influence the new wording of eleven articles that regulate uses and buildability in the municipality.
