The TSXG admits a lawsuit against the catalog of the PXOM of A Coruña

The Administrative Litigation Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Galicia (Second Section) is processing ordinary procedure 4306/2026 against the definitive approval of the specific modification of the PXOM (General Urban Planning Plan) of A Coruña regarding the protection catalog. The Official Gazette of the Province of A Coruña publishes this Monday, October 5, 2026, in issue 190, announcement 2026/6360 from the City Council of A Coruña, by which interested parties are summoned to appear as defendants. The deadline is nine days starting from the day following the publication.

The announcement, framed in section I (Local Administration), in the area of Land Planning and Management, was signed in A Coruña on September 30, 2026, by the delegated councilor for Urbanism, Rehabilitation, and Housing, Francisco Dinís Díaz Gallego, by delegation of the Local Governing Board of July 31, 2026, an agreement published in BOP issue 147 on August 5, 2026. The publication is made under article 49 of Law 29/1998, regulating the Administrative Litigation Jurisdiction, due to the impossibility of carrying out the personal summons of the interested parties.

The appeal is directed against the resolution of May 24, 2026, from the Department of Urbanism, Rehabilitation, and Housing of the City Council of A Coruña, issued in file MPX-1/16 (631/2016/299). That act definitively approved the specific modification of the PXOM of A Coruña to incorporate new elements into the protection catalog and to respond to the allegations presented.
