Urbanism halves pending license applications in Dénia

08 September 2021 - 15: 02

The results of the first six months of operation of the Plan for the improvement of the Territory area already show the great speed-up that the dynamics of the department has experienced. One of the main objectives set, reducing the number of pending files from the last three years, is already a reality: the information, communication or resolution has been considerably streamlined and in the case of major work licenses, they only remain at the date of Today 51 pending communication, of the amount of 188 of 2018, 2019 or 2020. Regarding the minor work, 48 remain to be addressed, of the total of 104 pending of the years 2019 or 2020.

The 'shock plan' in Territory has increased the department's staff with six employees, who began their duties on December 1, 2020: two senior architects, two technical architects, an administrative assistant and a TAG.

Another of the indicators that already show very good results is the reduction in the average period of communication of the result of a substantive review of the applications for major and minor work licenses: pending and new from 2021, to 70 and 45 days, respectively. The improvement forecasts have been reached, with the fulfillment of the deadlines, but it also stands out that the number of requests during this semester has increased in both cases with respect to the same period of 2020: 57 requests for major work have been registered (43 in the year past) and 228 minor works (compared to 162 in the first half of 2020).

The preliminary municipal report procedure, required by the new Construction Ordinance for major works, which entered into force on July 10, has also been prepared and put into operation. The implementation of the preliminary report entails the commitment, on the part of Urban Planning, that the applicant will obtain it within a maximum period of one month after the presentation of all the documentation. The previous report wants to clarify the basic reference framework to avoid something common up to now in this department: that 75% of the license requests that entered the city council had to be corrected.
Likewise, the department already complies with the reduction to one month of the average waiting time for a previous appointment for matters of a higher technical nature: the requested appointments are attended in person, by phone, by mail or by Zoom before the 31 days indicated. And the appointments attended by top architects have also doubled to reach twenty weekly.

The councilor of the area, Mr. Josep Ripoll, has indicated that the initial commitment was to report annually on the results of this improvement plan, "but the excellent data achieved in just six months deserve to be highlighted, because they corroborate what we have always defended: that Urban Planning is a very saturated and required an extra contribution of workers to bring it up to date”.

This rapid evolution, added Ripoll, "also shows that we have a very efficient staff involved in the proper functioning of the Territory area" and has appreciated the effort made to achieve "such good results in such a short time."
