Térmens submits a pig macro-farm with 8,695 spaces for public information

The Térmens City Council has opened a 20-day public information period regarding the basic project for the expansion of a pig breeding and fattening farm, which would reach a capacity of 1,261 fattening pigs and 7,434 piglets. The announcement, signed by Mayor Concep Cañadell Salvia, is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Lleida no. 217, dated November 12, 2026, with the official reference CVE BOP-2026_0_217_9540. The promoter is the company Gerard Real Baiget, with DNI 49751694A, who intends to build three livestock sheds, a slurry lagoon, and an access building on land within the municipal district.

The procedure affects municipal file LL.O. 507/2026, processed by the secretariat of the Térmens City Council, a municipality in the Noguera region. The documentation submitted is a basic project for the expansion of a pig breeding and fattening farm, which includes spaces for both sows and piglets as well as pigs in the fattening phase. The action is located on plot 77 of the municipal district, with the reference MO 8090 BD as stated in the announcement.

The publication is not an authorization, but rather the opening of the preliminary procedure required by urban planning regulations. The City Council applies it in accordance with Article 49.3 of the revised text of the Urban Planning Law of Catalonia and Article 58 of Decree 64/2014, the regulation for the protection of urban legality.

Three sheds, slurry lagoon, and 8,695 spaces

The project described in the announcement includes the following technical characteristics:

• Livestock capacity: up to 1,261 fattening pigs and 7,434 piglets, meaning 8,695 spaces in total.
• Three livestock sheds of 842 square meters each.
• A slurry lagoon for the management of generated slurry.
• An access building of 30 square meters.
• Location: municipal district of Térmens, plot 77, reference MO 8090 BD.

The size of the facility places it in the segment of high-capacity farms, with a number of piglets that is six times the declared fattening spaces. The presence of its own slurry lagoon corresponds to the intensive waste management model that usually accompanies this type of project.

Twenty days to file objections and consult the file

The public information period is 20 days and is counted from the first business day following the publication of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province. During this period, interested parties may consult the file and the basic project at the municipal secretariat during public office hours.

The announcement does not detail the objection process beyond the in-person consultation at the secretariat, meaning that any contribution must be made within this margin of 20 business days. The document was electronically signed by the mayor on November 10, 2026, and occupies page 1 of issue number 217 of the gazette, corresponding to edict 9540 of the Local Administration section.

One more file in the Ponent porcine series

The processing is added to the list of expansion and implementation files for porcine farms appearing in the Official Gazette of the Province of Lleida, a constant trickle of projects for breeding, fattening, and productive reorientation in rural municipalities. In this case, the installation is located in a town in La Noguera, a region with a high livestock density where porcine projects usually generate neighborhood debate due to odors, transport, and slurry management.

For the residents of Térmens, the calendar is clear: the 20-day clock begins the day after publication in the provincial gazette. For the livestock sector, the announcement specifies the maximum capacity requested and the body before which allegations can be presented before the City Council resolves the project.
