Planning & Permitting

Planning in the Canary Islands is governed by regional legislation, notably Ley 4/2017 del Suelo y de los Espacios Naturales Protegidos de Canarias, together with island and municipal planning instruments. Whether a project can proceed depends on the interaction of all three levels.

Areas of focus

  • Land classification: urban, developable and rustic land.
  • Building licences, prior communications and responsible declarations.
  • Planning compliance reviews for existing buildings.
  • Administrative appeals and judicial review (contencioso-administrativo).

Licences are not final in every case

A licence granted by a municipality can, in some circumstances, be challenged by third parties or reviewed by courts. Investors should understand the status and potential exposure of a licence, not merely its existence.

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.
