This is a website for buyers, owners, and sellers of property in Spain, offering reliable information and resources to help you get things done with confidence. It is run by Mark Stücklin, author of the Spanish Property Doctor Column in The Sunday Times (2005-2008), and the book ‘Need to Know: Buying Property in Spain’ published by Collins.
The Green MEP, David Hammerstein, has added several more Spanish urbanisations, in planning or under construction, to the list of urbanisations under investigation by the European Commission for not having sufficient water resources.
Last month Brussels asked Spain for information on 250 Spanish housing projects that are suspected of lacking sufficient water resources, and that may fall foul of EU water and environmental directives.
“There are still many urban planning projects in Spain where demand exceeds water resources, which means deceiving citizens who are the ultimate victims,” argues Hammerstein in a press release.
The latest additions to the list of construction projects under investigation include Ávila (Villanueva de Gómez), Segovia (Palazuelos de Eresma), Castellón (Almenara), Toledo (Seseña e Illescas) and Alicante (Parcent).
The full list of projects under investigation includes residential housing projects, hotels, golf courses, and tourist complexes in Andalucia, Castilla-La Mancha, the Valencian Region, and Murcia.
