Olot definitively approves the demolition of the building at 14 Sant Miquel Street

The Local Governing Board of the Olot City Council definitively approved on October 8, 2026, the demolition project for the building located at 14 Sant Miquel Street. The agreement, which is final and exhausts the administrative route, is made public in the Official Gazette of the Province of Girona (BOP no. 219, of November 13, 2026, edict 9716, p. 1-1). The publication activates the deadlines to challenge the decision.

The announcement, signed by Mayor Agustí Arbós Torrent on October 16, 2026, is disseminated pursuant to Article 38 of the Regulations for works, activities, and services of local entities, approved by Decree 179/1995, of June 13, which requires local works projects to be made public once definitively approved. The text is issued by the Territory Area of the Olot City Council, headquartered at 10 Passeig Ramon Guillamet, in the capital of Garrotxa.

The technical document was drafted by technical architect Josep M. Codinach Frigola in March 2026, according to the date recorded in the edict itself. Between the signing of the announcement on October 16 and its publication in the provincial gazette on November 13, nearly four weeks elapsed.

A demolition with the file closed

The definitive approval ends the municipal processing of the project and turns it into an executable administrative act, with no remaining approval procedures pending at the City Council. The edict does not specify the budget for the work, the execution period, or the characteristics of the affected property.

Sant Miquel Street is a road in the town of Olot where the City Council also hosts the Sant Miquel Neighbors’ Association, with premises on Rei Jaume I Conqueridor circuit, according to the electoral premises censuses published by the same gazette.

Two deadlines for appeal

The published text details the available avenues for challenge for interested parties:

• Contentious-administrative appeal before the Contentious-Administrative Court of Girona, within a period of two months starting from the day following the publication of the announcement.
• Appeal for reversal (recurso de reposición) before the body that issued the agreement, as an optional and prior step to the contentious appeal, within a period of one month from the day after publication.
• Administrative silence: if one month passes from the filing of the appeal for reversal without an express notified resolution, it is understood to be dismissed.
• Extension of the deadline: in the event of a presumed dismissal of the appeal for reversal, the contentious-administrative appeal may be filed within a period of six months from the day after the date on which it was presumably dismissed.

With the publication of November 13, 2026, as a reference, the two-month deadline to pursue judicial action expires in mid-January 2027, while the month for the appeal for reversal expires in mid-December 2026.

Official reference and verification

The announcement bears the official reference BOP-2026_0_219_9716 and edict number 9716, and occupies a single page of the bulletin. The document is electronically signed by the mayor with the COVE verification code, which allows its authenticity to be verified and associated electronic documents to be consulted via the municipal website.

The edict does not include the project’s technical sheet or any urban planning report, meaning that the construction data must be consulted in the municipal file. Nor does the published text contain any reference to tenants, occupants, or activities that may be carried out there, nor to possible compensations.

The decision directly affects the owners and any person with a legitimate interest in the property, who now have an administrative and judicial calendar strictly marked by the edict. For the general public, the publication in the BOP makes opposable an act that until now only existed within the internal scope of the corporation and establishes the moment from which the demolition can be executed.
