In a recent Sentence, from beginning of October, the Superior Court of Andalucia has annulled the General Urban Development Plan for Benahavis approved in 2018. It took more than 14 years of technical work to approve it and only three years to knock it down. The Sentence was dictated by the Andalucian Court after the denounce against the General Plan issued by some particular owners of Benahavis based on some formal defects.
Since this new General Plan is not valid anymore, all the Planning of Benahavis has to be referred to the previous General Plan approved in 1993 with an important particularity that is that the previous General Plan would have to be adapted to comply with the Land Law of Andalucia (LOUA) in order to be applicable.
Really, the situation is about the same as the one lived in Marbella when the General Plan of 2010 was also cancelled and all the Planning Permission had to refer back to the previous General Plan approved in 1986 that has been already adapted to the previously referred LOUA.
** In any case, if this information may affect any of your properties in Benahavis, it is highly recommended that you seek the advise of you trusted lawyer or architect to see how this cancellation may affect you.
