Preixens opens for public review a pig farm for 2,000 pigs

The Preixens City Council has opened for public review the basic and execution project for the construction of a new pig farm for 2,000 fattening pigs and its impact and landscape integration study. The announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Lleida (BOP) no. 197, dated October 15, 2026, with the official reference BOP-2026_0_197_8532 and edict number 8532. Interested parties have twenty days to submit claims.

The procedure is framed within Article 20.2 of Law 20/2009, of December 4, on the environmental prevention and control of activities, which requires projects subject to environmental impact assessment to be submitted for public exhibition. The issuing body is the Preixens City Council, which signed the edict on October 13, 2026. The text occupies page 1 of the gazette, within the Local Administration - City Councils section.

Deadline and means of participation

• Deadline: twenty days from the publication of the announcement in the BOP.
• Purpose: to submit claims against the project and against the impact and landscape integration study.
• Means: public exhibition at the Preixens City Council, carrer de Sant Joan, 17, 25316 Preixens (Lleida).
• Signature: Joan Eroles Viles, Mayor of Preixens, October 13, 2026.

The edict does not specify the exact start date of the count, which begins with the publication in the official gazette. Once the period is closed, the environmental processing will continue through the appropriate channel according to the regulations for the environmental prevention and control of activities.

Location and project characteristics

• Municipality: Preixens, in the Pla d’Urgell region.
• Location: polygon 503, plot 15.
• Activity: pig fattening farm.
• Declared capacity: 2,000 fattening pigs.
• Documentation submitted: basic and execution project for construction, and impact and landscape integration study.

This is a new livestock facility, not an expansion, according to the wording of the municipal announcement. The publication of the landscape study indicates that the project must also be evaluated for its visual impact on the agricultural environment.

Promoter and scope of processing

The promoter of the initiative is Explotacions Ramon SL, which appears as the applicant in the published text. The file reaches the official notice board after the mayor’s signature and remains open to allegations from any interested person or entity.

The public information phase is a preliminary step before the environmental resolution and the corresponding municipal license. Claims submitted within the deadline must be evaluated before resolving the file.

The publication in the BOP provides official coverage and guarantees of publicity for the procedure, ensuring that the project is accessible to affected neighbors, entities, and administrations.
