LUV Law replaces LRAU in Valencia

Fears of further mass development on the Costas were diluted this week when Valencia announced permission will only be given if there is sufficient water supply – a requirement that will jeopardise many schemes.

This is one of the new requirements set by the new LUV land law that came into force this week replacing the controversial LRAU.

Under LUV, town halls are obliged to modify their town plans to approve a new Plan Parcial development, a step that must be sanctioned by Valencia. It also requires a full study of scenic impact, subsidised housing included in the scheme (if the municipality has more than 10,000 residents) and 10 square metres of green area per resident.
Acceptable development scheme parameters are now set by law, not by the town hall, thus avoiding controversial decisions.

Analysts say the LUV has solved some of the problems caused by the LRAU and gives property owners more protection and information. However other controversial rules remain and the LUV has not been adapted to EU directives according to the ultimatum given by the European Parliament recently. This opens the door to judicial action from Brussels regarding the new law.
Meanwhile, developers were quick to get in schemes before the LRAU deadline on Tuesday (see full report on page 3). Planning and territories councillor Rafael Blasco surprised everyone on Wednesday by saying the LUV directives will be applied to these last-minute LRAU projects although the new law says otherwise.
