Ventalló submits a boarding facility for assisted therapy dogs to public consultation

The Ventalló City Council has opened for public information the specific action project (PAE) on non-developable land intended for the implementation of a dog boarding activity for assisted therapy. The project is located on plot 200 of polygon 2 of the municipality’s Rural Cadastre. The edict is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Girona no. 216, dated November 10, 2026, with the official reference BOP-2026_0_216_9533 (edict no. 9533, page 1).

Who is promoting the initiative and where is it located

The request was registered before the council by Joan Font Turrats, acting on behalf of Josep Mª Marquès Garcia. Both appear in the edict as the promoter and representative of the request for processing before the municipal corporation.

The characteristics detailed in the official document are as follows:

• Type of planning: specific action project (PAE) on non-developable land.
• Planned activity: dog boarding for assisted therapy.
• Location: plot 200 of polygon 2 of the Rural Cadastre of Ventalló.
• Municipality and region: Ventalló, in Alt Empordà.
• Processing body: Ventalló City Council, headquartered at Plaça Major, 1, in the town.

One month to submit objections

The processing complies with the provisions of Article 51 of Decree 64/2014, of May 13, which approves the Regulation on the protection of urban legality. In application of this regulation, the project is subject to public exhibition for a period of one month.

This period opens with the publication of the edict in the Official Gazette of the Province of Girona and is disseminated through four additional channels:

• the municipal website of the Ventalló City Council;
• the council’s edict board;
• the municipal e-board;
• the council’s electronic office.

During this month, any person may consult the file and submit any objections they deem appropriate. The edict does not set any other participation requirement other than compliance with this one-month deadline from the publication in the provincial gazette.

Where the file can be consulted

The specific action project remains available to the public at the municipal offices of the Ventalló City Council, from Monday to Friday, during public office hours. It can also be consulted through the council’s electronic office.

The edict appears electronically signed by the mayor, M. Remei Costa Reig, with a signature date of November 2, 2026, eight days before its publication in the provincial gazette. The document occupies a single page of the BOP and no technical report or descriptive memory of the project accompanies the edict.

The publication of this procedure is the first step so that the activity can be legally implemented on non-developable land, a land regime that is especially restrictive for non-agricultural uses. The processing of a PAE (Special Plan) is the mechanism that allows for the enabling of this type of facilities outside of urban land, and therefore the public information process is the moment when neighbors and entities can influence its final approval.
