Note: This law -the LOTPP- is one of three in a "package" of Valencian legislation, along with a law on Non Urbanizable land ( passed in 2004, and in effect) and the draft LUV, which may not go into effect until late 2006 (if ever!). One of the practical effects of the LOTPP is that town halls will no longer have the authority to change the classification of land, eg.from Agricultural/ "rustica" to urbanizable without the approval of the Valencian Gov't.

DATE APPROACHING (Valencia Life) This coming Friday marks the end of a year's moratorium on the enforcement of the new laws of protection of the landscape and order for the territory(LOTPP). As a result there has been a considerable flood of offers to erect urbanizations of one sort or another across the Valencian Community. In the Marina Alta area of Alicante Province alone, there are plans to build some 30,000 new homes on a total of eighteen million square metres. This building extends across almost all the municipalities in the area that is already saturated with building projects. As an example, in the municipality of Benissa, there are three projects that are still said to be under consideration: Benissa Golf, which envisages the building of some 4,700 new homes, hotel complexes and two golf courses; the Ronda Norte, which foresees the building of 2,000 new homes and a huge road of 33 metres and 900 metres in length, and the creating of 300 new homes in Llobella - the only area of virgin coastline between Teulada and Calpe, whilst in Calpe itself, there is still controversy over the building of a number of 50-storey blocks of apartments around the Salt Flats, which in itself is a protected area.
