NORTH
SPAIN PLANNING LAW
ARE
YOU SAFE ON THE BEACHES?
New laws
coming into force may restrict the use, and at worst affect the title
ownership, of properties located close to the waterfront. "La
ley de la costa" applies to all spanish territory and although
the implications of the law will only affect those who already own
a property next to the beach, we recommend that proper checks should
always be carried out before committing to a purchase.

ALTERNATIVE
ENERGY - PLANNING LAW IMPLICATIONS
It is
now imperative when renovating older buildings, or building from new,
that the required planning application includes the provision of at
least 30% of total energy requirement as being supplied from an alternative
energy source. This could include solar panels or ground source heating
to name but a few.
Most works
to residential buildings in Spain will require planning permission
and not seeking and obtaining the correct advice may cost you more
than you think.
