Specific amendment of the general plan

When the plan blocks a specific development but the overall model is sound, a targeted amendment is the fast route. The key is a solid justification of the public interest: that is what decides whether it is approved or gets stuck.

What's included

• Prior planning feasibility analysis and choice of the appropriate instrument.
• Supporting report on the public interest and the proportionality of the amendment.
• Amended regulations and land use drawings, with a comparative consolidated text.
• Simplified strategic environmental assessment where applicable.
• Justification of land contributions, development rights and compensation.
• Processing and responses to sector reports.

When you need it

• An industrial or public facility project does not fit the land use category in force.
• Public systems, roads or green space need adjusting to make a development viable.
• A material error or an unworkable provision has to be corrected.

How we work

Before drafting, we tell you whether the amendment is viable and what risk it carries before the regional planning commission. Articles 96 et seq. of the Catalan planning act.
