Advisory group finds Formentera Council acted appropriately with Punta Gavina permit

foto consell consultatiu 2018When the Formentera Council gathered today for a special plenary session that was both extraordinary and urgent, the assembly voted to forgo review of construction permits corresponding to case number 373/2006 and  Punta Na SLU, finding the permits do not present motives for nullification as argued by SUNWAY, SL, in doing so eliminating the need for ex officio review. “Yes” votes came from Gent per Formentera, PSOE and Compromís; PP representatives abstained.

The proposal obtained approval following the Consell Consultiu's November 21 pronouncement ruling out derogation—and consequently additional review—in consideration of three allegations concerning a permit for Punta Na SLU and associated with the request for ex officio scrutiny.

According to land councillor Alejandra Ferrer, the three allegations in question—failure to give notice of forum for pertinent representations, failure to conduct a legal review, violation of municipal code regulating single-family units—are untrue. “The Consell Consultatiu found not only that we gave notice and did the legal review, but that the remote single-family dwelling side of regulation was respected as well. So any review of the permit is unnecessary”.

Ferrer denounced PP party members for “having tried to cast doubt on the administration's senior councillors ever since the municipal code was passed” by encouraging SUNWAY to “continue pursuing injunctions to separate permits”. The councillor also blasted PP reps' to-and-fro voting, saying it amounted to “changing one's vest just because something a member of the Council says doesn't sit well with you” and calling it “pretty sad”. “Assemblies like this should be moments to vote based on conscience and, particularly, on the reports that are here in advance for us to read”, concluded Ferrer, “not just because one doesn't like what another councillor says”.
