Torremayor completes the final approval of its municipal flood plan

The Torremayor City Council has made the Municipal Action Plan for Flood Risk (PAMIN Torremayor) definitive after no claims were filed during the public information period. The agreement, initially adopted by the Plenary, is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Badajoz number 217, dated November 12, 2026, under Announcement 4489/2026, in the Local Administration section. With this publication, the document is formally approved and available to interested parties.

From the August Plenary to administrative silence

The plan was initially approved by agreement of the Plenary in an ordinary session held on August 26, 2026, in accordance with the provisions of articles 49 and 70.2 of Law 7/1982, of April 2, regulating the bases of the local regime. From there, the file was submitted for public information for a period of thirty days, counted from the day following the insertion of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province of Badajoz number 173, dated September 10, 2026, where it was published under number 3557/2026.

During that period, the document could be examined at the municipal offices and on the notice board of the council’s electronic headquarters. Since no allegations were presented, the initial approval agreement was automatically elevated to definitive, without the need for a new plenary pronouncement.

Where to consult the document and how to challenge it

The definitively approved PAMIN Torremayor is available to interested persons on the Transparency Portal of the electronic headquarters of the Torremayor City Council, under the path 2. Regulations, 2.3. Other Provisions.

The announcement also details the available means of challenge:

• Contentious-administrative appeal, within a period of two months counted from the day following the publication of the announcement.
• Applicable law: Law 29/1998, of July 13, regulating the Contentious-Administrative Jurisdiction.
• The announcement appears signed by the Mayor-President, Manuel Estribio Sánchez, as of the date of the digital signature.

A trickle of plans in the province

The approval in Torremayor adds to a sequence of similar files processed by councils in Badajoz in recent months, all of which were published in the same provincial gazette. Recent cases include the definitive approvals of the plans for Acedera (Announcement 4264/2026, October 27), Medellín (Announcement 4147/2026, October 20), Montijo (Announcement 3902/2026, October 6), Cordobilla de Lácara (Announcement 3983/2026, October 9), Don Benito (Announcement 3907/2026, October 6), and La Albuera (Announcement 3218/2026, August 13).

In several of those files, it is stated that the technical document received a favorable report from the Permanent Civil Protection Commission of the Autonomous Community of Extremadura, in sessions held on August 5 and 25, 2026, and that the plans are integrated within the framework of Law 10/2019, of April 11, on civil protection and emergency management of Extremadura.

The City Council of Torremayor is listed with 992 inhabitants in the provincial distributions of employment programs and works published by the Provincial Council of Badajoz in the same bulletin, which places the municipality among those with the smallest populations in the province and, therefore, with limited technical resources to handle emergency planning.

The relevance of the announcement is twofold. On one hand, it closes the administrative process of an instrument that until now lacked definitive approval, meaning the municipality now has a formal reference document for flood events. On the other, it opens a two-month period for any interested party to appeal before the contentious-administrative jurisdiction, which maintains a margin for review regarding the content of the plan. Residents of Torremayor can consult the full text now on the municipal electronic office.
