Illegal properties being demolished in Córdoba - EFE archive
The three level house was built on rural land without permission
The provincial court in Málaga has ordered the demolition of a property with swimming pool built without planning permission in Alhaurín el Grande due to its major visual impact on the local landscape. The 250 square metre construction is built on three levels in a rural area seen by the court as ‘already run down’ on land which is classified as unsuitable for development.
EFE reports that the sentence notes, in addition, that there is no way to legalise the construction under the planning regulations which are currently in force in Alhaurín.
A lower court had already found the owner guilty of planning crimes in building the property, a charge which has now been ratified by the provincial court, but did not order in its ruling that the house should be demolished.
