Mijares opens public information for the change of ownership of environmental licenses

The Mijares City Council has opened the public information process regarding the application submitted by the company Kercus Atelier, S.L. for the change of ownership of the environmental licenses for a carpentry parts manufacturing activity. The announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Ávila on November 5, 2026, with the official reference 2123/26, within section I of Local Administration. The opening of this period allows any person who may be affected by the activity to consult the municipal file and submit any observations they deem appropriate.

What is being submitted for public information

The purpose of the process is not the installation of a new industry, but rather the change of ownership of the environmental authorizations of an activity already existing in the municipality. According to the text of the announcement, the application is submitted by the interested company itself, Kercus Atelier, S.L., and affects the environmental licenses linked to the manufacture of carpentry parts.

The specific data collected in the announcement are as follows:

• Applicant: Kercus Atelier, S.L.
• Activity: manufacture of carpentry parts.
• Location: Carretera La Pinosa n.º 1, in the municipality of Mijares (Ávila).
• Purpose of the process: change of ownership of the environmental licenses.
• Competent body: Mijares City Council, through its Mayor’s Office.
• Announcement reference: 2123/26.

The municipal document does not detail the identity of the outgoing owner nor the technical conditions of the warehouse, details which are reserved for the direct consultation of the administrative file.

Deadlines and form of participation

The period enabled for citizen participation is ten days starting from the insertion of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province of Ávila, that is, from this same November 5, 2026. During this period, interested parties may exercise two rights:

• Examine the complete file at the offices of the Mijares City Council.
• Submit in writing the relevant observations or allegations regarding the activity and its impact.

The announcement does not set a specific consultation schedule nor a determined electronic registry, therefore, service will be adjusted to the ordinary operation of the City Council. The text also does not specify whether the count is carried out in calendar days or business days, a precision that is usually resolved during the municipal processing itself.

Regulatory framework and documentary support

The City Council justifies the publication in compliance with “current regional and sectoral regulations” regarding environmental prevention, without citing specific articles. In other environmental license announcements processed by city councils in the province and published this year in the same bulletin, the invoked framework is Article 28 of the Recast Text of the Environmental Prevention Law of Castilla y León, approved by Legislative Decree 1/2015, of November 12, together with the Urban Planning Regulations of Castilla y León.

The announcement appears signed by the mayor, Soraya Blázquez Domínguez, and is dated October 20, 2026, in the municipality of Mijares; thus, slightly more than two weeks elapsed between the signing of the document and its dissemination in the provincial bulletin, the moment from which the legal period begins to count.

Relevance for the municipality

The publication affects a small municipal district, where carpentry is one of the industrial activities established in the urban center and its immediate surroundings. The public information period is the means by which neighbors, company employees, and any economic operator in the sector can learn who will assume ownership of the licenses and under what conditions the activity will be maintained.

The continuity of the industrial activity, the maintenance of local employment, and the environmental conditions of a carpentry facility—with the generation of wood waste, noise, and emissions inherent to the process—are the elements upon which allegations may be based. Once the period closes without objections, the City Council may resolve the change of ownership, and the activity will formally be in the hands of the new owner.
