Villarcayo opens public consultation for a campsite in Villacomparada de Rueda

The City Council of Villarcayo de Merindad de Castilla la Vieja has opened the public information period for the environmental license application requested for a campsite on developable land in Villacomparada de Rueda. The announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Burgos number 191, corresponding to Wednesday, October 7, 2026, with the official reference BOPBUR-2026-04163. Those who consider themselves affected by the activity have a period of ten days to submit any allegations they deem appropriate.

The opening of the procedure complies with Article 28 of the consolidated text of the Environmental Prevention Law of Castilla y León, approved by Legislative Decree 1/2015, of November 12, a regulation that requires the file to be submitted for public information before the authorization is resolved. The announcement is included in section III, Local Administration, of the provincial gazette, on page 67.

Villacomparada de Rueda is a minor local entity integrated into the municipality of Villarcayo de Merindad de Castilla la Vieja, with its own neighborhood council and a separate budget. The application thus reaches a rural center in the north of the province, where tourism activity linked to the natural environment carries weight in the local economy.

The file and the promoter

The municipal file is processed under number 1575/2026 and responds to the application submitted by V.P.G. to install a campsite. The documentation precisely identifies the site:

• Developable land FN Pontoncillo, number 8.
• Cadastral reference 4351902VN5545S0001PW.
• Location: Villacomparada de Rueda, Villarcayo de Merindad de Castilla la Vieja.
• Activity: campsite.

The announcement does not detail the number of plots, spaces, or camping units planned, details which must be consulted in the file documentation.

Ten days to object and file consultation

The public information period is ten days and is calculated from the appearance of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province of Burgos, that is, from October 7, 2026. During this period, those who are affected in any way by the activity may submit allegations.

The file remains available to interested parties in the following offices and channels:

• Municipal offices: Plaza Mayor, number 1, 2nd floor, Urban Planning Department.
• Consultation hours: from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• Graphic documentation: municipal electronic office, at the address http://villarcayomcv.sedelectronica.es.

The announcement was signed in Villarcayo de Merindad de Castilla la Vieja on September 25, 2026, by the mayor, Adrián Serna del Pozo.

Recent background in the hamlet

The hamlet maintains its own administrative activity in the provincial bulletin. The Plenary of the Neighborhood Board of Villacomparada de Rueda, in a session on August 8, 2026, initially approved the general budget of the Minor Local Entity for the 2026 fiscal year, with a consolidated expenditure statement of 23,000.62 euros and an income statement of an identical amount. That agreement was published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Burgos number 158, dated August 21, 2026, with reference BOPBUR-2026-03522, and was signed by the mayor-president Darío Antolín García Palencia.

The processing of the environmental license is, therefore, the urban planning matter of greatest scope that has recently affected this nucleus within the district of Villarcayo.

Why it matters

The public information period is the only time that neighbors, adjacent owners, and associations can examine the project and file objections before the City Council of Villarcayo de Merindad de Castilla la Vieja resolves the environmental license. For the local tourism sector, the decision will determine whether the municipality incorporates a new camping infrastructure on developable land in Villacomparada de Rueda; for residents, the file allows for the verification of the exact location, the cadastral reference, and the environmental conditions of the activity. The ten-day period starting from October 7, 2026, is, in practice, the only formal window for participation before the municipal resolution.
