Final green light for the detailed study of the Badajoz Casino

The Badajoz City Council has given final approval to the detailed study of plot 23.1 of ACO-5.5, the area where the country club facilities of the Sociedad Casino de Badajoz are located. The agreement was adopted by the municipal Plenary in an ordinary session on July 23, 2026, by unanimity of those present, and was made public in the Official Gazette of the Province of Badajoz number 201, corresponding to Tuesday, October 20, 2026, under reference Announcement 4138/2026.

The approved instrument is an urban detailed study processed under file 2026/2195, which develops and complements the General Municipal Plan (PGM) of Badajoz regarding land classified as urban. Its scope is an independent estate of irregular polygonal shape and 60,019.76 square meters of surface area, located in the surroundings of Las Vaguadas.

The immediate precedent is the specific modification of the structural organization of the PGM identified as M-OE-03/20162, whose final approval was published in the Official Gazette of Extremadura number 154, on Friday, August 9, 2019, which increased the buildability of the plot to enable the expansion of the country club facilities.

Reorganization of volumes without changing the use

The purpose of the detailed study is the reorganization of the volumes of future buildings on the plot, once the aforementioned structural modification was approved. This reorganization is carried out in accordance with the proposed building movement areas and the maximum heights proposed for each zone, established based on the relationship of the plot with its immediate urban environment.

The document establishes the organization and composition of volumes, heights, and facades, as well as alignments and gradients. According to the justification contained in the announcement, the proposed organization does not modify the urban destination of the land, does not increase urban developments, does not alter structural determinations, does not establish new uses or ordinances, and does not negatively affect public facilities, in accordance with article 54 of the LOTUS and article 65 of the RGLOTUS.
