Spanish Planning Permission

The laws concerning Spanish planning permission, relating to Spanish property whether urbanised or rustic are complex.  To complicate issues further, in Spain, there is not a central planning authority to deal with Spanish planning permission issues for Spanish property. The Ministry, the Autonomous Communities and the Municipalities are involved in the process of granting Spanish planning permission.

In general any improvement or alteration to your Spanish property requires some form of Spanish planning permission. Furthermore if you intend to fell trees on your Spanish property you need to ensure that they are not protected, if you chop down certain trees without permission you will face legal consequences.

Solutions.
At Spanish Planning Permission we offer solutions to your Spanish planning permission issues – whether or not you have commenced construction or alteration of an existing building at your Spanish property. It is imperative that you seek independent qualified advice before you commence any work to any property in Spain and the Spanish Islands /Territories.

Buying Spanish Property.
When buying Spanish property, you may be under the misapprehension that the Notary who conducts the sale/ purchase of your Spanish property will be ‘ au fait’ with the current laws appertaining to Spanish planning permission. Not so, the Notary is empowered to ensure that the sale is conducted in accordance with the current laws that appertain to the sale and purchase of Spanish property. It will be assumed that you, the purchaser of the Spanish property have made your own checks, legal checks and checks regarding the relevancy of Spanish planning permission, as to the viability of whatever project you have in mind, or to whether you can actually live in the Spanish property that you intend to purchase (ie that the property is urbanised, has the relevant, Licencia de primera ocupación and Cédula de habitabilidad - the two latter documents will not be required if you intend just to purchase agricultural land to farm ). We at Spanish Planning Permission  can assist with the pre-purchase checks to ensure that you are purchasing the Spanish property that is fit for your purpose.
