The Junta de Andalucía has suspended the licence to build at the Arroyo Marinos urbanisation in Almuñecar. The licence was for the construction of 64 homes, but the Junta says it goes against municipal planning norms in the town.
News of the decision has been published by Ecologistas en Acción who originally placed a complaint about the development in April 2007. They claimed that the development in a valley would have the effect of stopping floodwaters reaching the sea in the case of torrential rain.
A subsequent study from the regional public works department concluded that the licence had to be revised and called for a suspension, despite the fact that the local town hall had granted first occupation licences.
