The Association of Developers of the Dénia Comarca released a statement on Monday, according to La Marina Plaza, criticising the Valencian Community's lack of response to what it considers irregularities in municipal planning management. In the text, the association calls on the regional authority responsible for urban planning to act of its own motion to restore legality, according to La Marina Plaza.
The General Structural Plan and the Montgó plan at the centre of the controversy
The statement focuses on the General Structural Plan and the processing of the Montgó detailed plan. According to the association, the environmental phase of that plan was closed without the regional administration pronouncing on it. The association also denounces that essential parameters were modified between the advisory committee and the public consultation phase, which in its view undermined citizen participation in the process.
The association also denounces the reclassification of land identified in the PORN as of doubtful ownership, a circumstance it says it has formally notified to the regional authority.
Risk of processing without regional assessment
The association warns that Dénia Town Council could advance in processing the detailed planning without requesting the mandatory regional authority assessment of compliance with the General Structural Plan, a document that, according to the association, is currently the subject of legal proceedings.
Harsh words for the regional government
In the statement, the association described the Valencian Community's attitude as "complicit silence that mortgages Dénia's future" and spoke of "a connivance as chronic as it is harmful", going so far as to identify the regional administration as "directly complicit in the chaos that Dénia Town Council perpetuates in our municipality". The association also stated that there are "flagrant indications of alleged abuse of office" and described the situation as a "huge mistake" and "manifest recklessness", with "irreparable consequences for common heritage".
Lastly, the association called for "the immediate end of this supervisory inaction by the Valencian Community" and demanded the "restoration of a legality that should never have been sacrificed by Dénia Town Council".
