San Fernando de Henares approves aid for ruins on Line 7-B

The San Fernando de Henares City Council has approved the guidelines and the call for grants, on a competitive basis, intended for owners of properties declared as ruins or subject to an eviction order due to the issues with Metro Line 7-B as it passes through the municipality. The agreement was adopted by the Plenary in an extraordinary session on November 6, 2026, and its summary is published in the Official Gazette of the Community of Madrid number 271, dated November 11, 2026, in section III of Local Administration, with the reference BOCM-20261111-57.

The agreement and its legal framework

The call corresponds to the Urban Planning area of the City Council and is processed under file 2026URBA000551 (X2026022723). The summary is disseminated in accordance with the provisions of articles 17.3.b) and 20.8.a) of Law 38/2003, of November 17, General Law on Subsidies, which requires the publication of the summary of the call resolutions in the official gazette.

The full text of the resolution approved by the Plenary can be consulted in the National Subsidies Database, where the publication is assigned reference number 940507, and also on the municipal transparency page regarding urban planning, public works, and the environment.

Who can apply and the deadline

The recipients are owners of properties affected by two specific situations, both linked to the subway works:

• Properties declared as ruins.
• Properties subject to an eviction order.
• In both cases, the origin of the damage must be the issues derived from Metro Line 7-B as it passes through the municipal district.

The deadline for submitting applications is ten (10) calendar days, counting from the day following the publication of the summary. Based on the date of the gazette, the count begins on November 12, 2026, and concludes on November 21, 2026, with no margin for subsequent submissions.

Competitive basis and processing

The grants are awarded on a competitive basis, which means that applications are compared against each other and resolved according to the evaluation criteria set out in the guidelines, and not by order of arrival. The summary does not detail amounts, maximum quantities, or the budget allocation, data which is referred to the full text available in the National Subsidies Database and on the municipal website.

The announcement is signed in San Fernando de Henares, on November 6, 2026, by the delegated councilor for Planning and Sustainable Development (Urban Planning, Industry, and Housing), Santos Rozalén Rodrigo.

The publication comes months after the condition of Line 7-B became a structural problem for the municipality’s residential heritage, with homes flagged by ruin files and evictions. For the affected owners, the call opens a path for financial compensation, but with a very tight schedule: anyone who does not formalize their request within those ten calendar days will be excluded from the procedure, even if their property is listed among the damaged.
