The data of the Dénia Urbanism shock plan: 188 major building licenses and 104 minor building licenses of the last three years already reviewed

February 17 from 2022 - 12: 41

The 188 major work permits and 104 minor work permits pending for the years 2018, 2019 and 2020 have already completed the prior communication and in-depth review procedures of the Urban Planning Department, one of the objectives set for the Improvement Plan for the area of Territory that was launched in December 2020 with the reinforcement of the department staff with the hiring of two senior architects, two technical architects, an administrative assistant and a TAG.

Another of the objectives 100% met is the reduction to 15 days of the period for issuing the prior communication to the interested party, both in major construction licenses and in minor construction licenses, of which a total of 2021 have been requested. of 103 and 445, respectively.

The total number of licenses processed has been 534, for major works, and 756, for minor works, of which 80 and 276 have already been granted with a favorable report.

As for the substantive review process, whose deadlines are reduced to 70 days (major work) and 45 days (minor work) in the objectives established by the 'shock plan', the degree of compliance is 98%, in the first case, and 67% in the second.

Two other central objectives that have also been achieved are the reduction of the deadlines for granting appointments: the department already complies with the reduction to one month of the average waiting time for a prior appointment and customer service has been significantly streamlined thanks to the appointment system on-line; and the implementation of the prior report procedure required by the new Construction Ordinance for major works, which entered into force on July 10 and whose purpose is to clarify the basic reference framework to avoid successive corrections that slowed down the granting of licenses .

Since that date, Urban Planning has processed 43 prior report files.

As for the effort to improve access to information for citizens, the Town Planning section of the municipal website has been updated with new forms, in addition to simplifying the online processing, the preparation of an explanatory guide on the procedure for processing works and the publication of the application criteria of the new Construction and Urbanization Ordinance.

The overall figures for the department also show, as highlighted by the Councilor for Territory, Mr. Josep Ripoll, an increase in the activity of the sector after the crisis derived from the pandemic: during the year 2021, 6.634 files have been processed in Urban Planning; a figure that amounted to 4.303 in 2020, but that was even lower the previous year: 3.729, in 2019.

Compared to the number of files managed in 2010, a total of 1.785, also in a time of recovery after the 2008 crisis, "the increase in the workload of the department is very high, also due to the assumption of new responsibilities, such as for example, the processing of the Pla Edificant de Generalitat for the improvement and construction of educational infrastructures with its own personnel resources”.

Other data of interest that the balance of this first year of the Plan for the improvement of the Territory area throws up refers to the requests for the certificate of urban compatibility for tourist homes, which in 2021 have been 662 (processed 620 and granted to date 503) .

Ripoll has highlighted that this improvement plan, in addition to meeting the proposed objectives, "has meant a very important change in the dynamics of the department by introducing work by objectives, weekly coordination meetings and monthly monitoring of indicators".

“We have achieved, and it is something for which I am extremely grateful to all the staff, to maintain a continuous improvement effort whose results are very noticeable, in figures and, above all, in a better and more agile service to citizens, which is ultimately what we are here for."
