MEP report concludes a tacit agreement for illegal construction in Albox
By m.p - Apr 11, 2007 - 6:44 PM

It comes after a fact-finding visit to the area to investigate planning complaints

It’s been reported that the European Parliament’s fact-finding mission to Almería at the end of February has concluded that a ‘tacit agreement’ between the Town Hall and builders allowed the construction of several hundred illegal homes in Albox, most of which were later bought by British nationals: some 2,000 houses in the Almanzora Valley now face possible demolition.

The delegation from the Petitions Committee, led by its President, Marcin Libicki, and his Deputy, Michael Cashman MEP, was in Spain to investigate planning complaints placed by residents associations in Madrid, Valencia and Andalucía. The report on the Almería part of the visit concludes that residents of the houses now identified as illegal did not receive proper advice from either the local authority, surveyors or from local lawyers. It points out that the Mayor of Albox is under investigation on the matter.

The Petitions Committee was reportedly debating the report on Wednesday.
