Practice in formation. Legal representation will be offered once admitted lawyers and regulatory details are confirmed. Status

Practice Area

Environmental Permitting & Compliance

The Canary Islands contain extensive protected natural spaces and sensitive habitats. Environmental assessment and protection regimes can shape, delay or prevent development, and their requirements are frequently the subject of administrative and judicial scrutiny.

Frameworks involved

  • Ley 21/2013 de Evaluación Ambiental (environmental impact assessment).
  • Canary Islands protected natural spaces network and regional planning.
  • EU Habitats and Birds Directives and Natura 2000 sites.
  • Heritage and archaeological protection where relevant.

Why environmental questions arise late

Environmental issues are often raised by third parties or public bodies after a project is underway. Early identification of applicable requirements reduces the risk of later precautionary measures affecting construction.

This is a planned practice area of CANARIAS.LEGAL. Representation will be available once admitted lawyers join the firm. This page is general information, not legal advice.
