What is PATIVEL and what affects the municipality of Dénia?
PATIVEL. One of the words most heard these days, and perhaps one of the least understood by much of the public. What is this plan, which both are talking businessmen and politicians in Dénia? Why is he so worried about? I'll explain:
PATIVEL: Territorial Action Plan for Green Infrastructure Litoral
The PATIVEL or Via Litoral It is the plan that aims to protect and 2.400 ordering hectares in the Alicante coast and will include a free car trail linking the north and south of Valencia.
Thus, the Consell aims to create a Vía Litoral to be built on roads that already exist, such as martímos own walks and trails that are already used. They signaled a way that can make a route to Santiago Camino style. "It is a new tourist product, totally away from traffic. Tourism can be done in virgin areas that will be valued", Says the General Director of Planning, Urbanism and Landscape of Valencia, Josep Lluís Ferrando.
This plan is a territorial instrument active dissemination and conservation value of the territoryWhich proposes a set of uses and activities, restricted and controlled manner, allowing reconcile the preservation of environmental, territorial and landscape values of coastline with generating added value and sustainable public use of these spaces for all citizens.
For the Generalitat Valenciana, "It is a rigorous, ambitious and necessary plan for the future of the coast of the Valencian Community to prevent its deterioration after more than 20 years of abandonment and absence of planning, according to those responsible for the Ministry".
What affects PATIVEL to Denia?
As established in the Territorial Action Plan for Green Infrastructure Litoral (PATIVEL), after approval of the uses they are limited 1.000 meters from the seashore. THE PATIVEL not stop construction in the coastal area, but commits to sustainable housing beachfront and activities that promote economic development without harming the environment.
These economic activities sports open spaces such as golf courses or tourist camps would be found. The plan also supports quality tourism, which generates higher incomes and employment, as is the tourist hotel sector.
The City Council says it does not affect. Businesses and residents argue yes
Councilwoman territory, MªJosep Ripoll, says the PATIVEL does not affect the city of Denia. And it does because, defends this plan in Dénia "he comes late". According to the councilor, the coast of Dénia is consolidated for years, and the city does not have sea green windows, which in any case would be what would order the PATIVEL. The only green window is the Natural Park Montgó, which is already protected.
But neighbors and entrepreneurs differ from this opición. In his view, the PATIVEL does not include specific protection for places like Mr. Almadrava or Les Deveses dunes. In addition they warn of the possible impact that the plan may have on public and private properties and possible incompativilidad the future General Plan of the city. In regard to the latter, MªJosep Ripoll argues that this plan is fully compatible with PGE Denia.
Longer allegations
Given the confusion that the document has generated in cities like Denia, the Consell approved an expansion of the public exposure of it in order to allow more time for residents and municipalities to present possible arguments.
Dénia, after the meeting the Neighbors Federation CEDMA and maintained with citizens, agreed to submit claims to the technical and legal documents because they understand that "deficient" y "it gives rise to a lot of confusion".
