Homes demolition threat


THOUSANDS of homes could be at risk of demolition for being illegally built.


Malaga provincial government has calculated that there are more than 90,000 homes in Andalucia that are incorrectly registered or that could not be registered due to being built illegally on land which was not for construction purposes.


Mayors from 10 of Malaga’s municipalities, among them Marbella and Fuengirola, have been given a list of buildings which should not have been built. It is now up to each individual council to decide what to do about the situation.


Just in the province of Malaga there are 3,101 constructions which may be deemed illegal and knocked down, as happened to the pictured house in the Andalucian town of Cantoria.


Elias bendodo, president of the Diputacion, commented that there were a lot more than he was expecting but added that many of them, up to 80 per cent in his opinion, could be “regularised” and would only have to pay a fine instead of being knocked down. Others, commented Bendodo, were on land that was too close to the beach or in contrast with planning regulations and would have to go altogether.


Bendodo promised that each case would be studied individually by the councils and a decision would be reached with the help of the Diputacion.
