Pulianas approves the expropriation of land to widen Cartuja Street

The Pulianas City Council has initially approved the project for expropriation by joint valuation of the land necessary for the expansion of Calle Cartuja, as well as the initiation of compulsory expropriation for urban planning reasons of the affected plots. The agreement was adopted by Mayoral Decree dated October 28, 2026, and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Granada number 219, dated November 12, 2026, with the official reference BOP-GRA-2026-219036. Owners and other interested parties have one month to examine the file and submit allegations.

The processing is based on the technical documentation incorporated into the electronic administrative file 1833/2026, which remains available to the public along with the rest of the procedure’s documentation. The announcement appears in the Local Administration section of the provincial gazette, within the edicts of the Pulianas City Council, and bears the signature of the mayor, José Antonio Carranza Ruiz.

One month of public exhibition

The file will be open for public inspection for a period of one month starting from the day following the publication of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province of Granada. Therefore, that period begins on November 13, 2026.

During this period, interested parties may:

• Examine the expropriation project and the technical documentation of file 1833/2026.
• Submit any allegations and claims they deem appropriate.
• Consult the full text of the initial approval decree.

The process thus fulfills the public information function inherent to expropriation procedures by joint valuation, in which the valuation of the affected assets and rights is carried out jointly for the entire area and not plot by plot.

Where to consult the file

In-person assistance is provided at the Pulianas City Council, at Plaza de España, 1, specifically in the Urban Planning Service, from 08:00 to 14:00 hours.

Additionally, the full text of the decree and the technical documents are available on the municipal Transparency Portal, accessible through the city council’s electronic office (https://ayuntamientodepulianas.sedelectronica.es/transparency/30b91a17-cdbd-4399-b2be-95176578d61b/). In this way, the consultation can be carried out without the need to visit the municipal offices.

Joint valuation and effects on owners

The chosen procedure is that of joint valuation, provided for in Andalusian urban planning legislation —Law 7/2021, for the promotion of the sustainability of the territory of Andalusia, regulates this mechanism in its article 121—. Compared to individualized valuation, this system sets a common value for the land affected by the action, which streamlines the processing and reduces the expropriation deadlines.

The initial approval does not close the procedure: it specifically opens the phase in which the owners can discuss the necessity of the occupation of their plots, the proposed valuation, or the conditions of the expropriation. Once the allegations are resolved, the file must be made final and proceed until the effective occupation of the land.

The scope of the action is limited to the land strictly necessary for the expansion of Calle Cartuja, a road in the urban center of Pulianas, according to the description contained in the edict itself.

Impact for residents

The publication of this edict marks the formal start of an action that directly affects the owners of the plots included in the project, who now have a window of time to defend their valuation, and indirectly affects the municipality as a whole, given that the intervention is aimed at expanding a street in the urban core. The month for allegations that begins now is the only planned participation procedure before the expropriation moves toward its final resolution; therefore, the affected owners must be mindful of the deadline calculation, which began the day after publication in the provincial bulletin.
