The Governing Group of the Cabildo de Lanzarote, made up of Coalición Canaria, the Partido Popular, and the councilor from the mixed group Armando Santana, have given unanimous approval to the prior authorization to build fourteen luxury villas on a plot in Costa Teguise.

This is a project with capacity for 55 accommodation places, of extra-hotel category, which will be located on a plot situated between Avenida de Las Palmeras and Calle de Los Hervideros.

The initiative has been promoted by Charlotte-Émilie Fontaine on plot 233-2 in the coastal town. The project is located next to the Lanzahost Casa Cala complex.

In the same insular Governing Council where the Governing Group rejected two tourist projects, the Cabildo de Lanzarote approved the authorization of the project and provisional classification for these villas, which was not reported in the press release distributed to the island's media at the time.

 

Absence of the Teguise classified activities report

This is an initiative that received the approval of the architect attached to the Department of Tourism Planning of the Cabildo de Lanzarote on June 29 for its compliance with technical regulations.

Furthermore, in July, the insular institution requested a mandatory report on classified activities from the Teguise City Council, but the council had not sent this document by October. However, the Cabildo de Lanzarote proceeded with the authorization after the legal period of three months for the municipality to respond had passed.

Administrative authorizations depend on the Government of the Canary Islands and the Cabildo de Lanzarote. Meanwhile, the Teguise City Council will be responsible for granting the building permit.

The Cabildo's resolution is binding for obtaining the definitive classification of the establishment once the works are completed. After the approval of this prior authorization, the developer has one year to apply for the municipal building permit before it expires, two more years to start the works from the granting of the authorization, and another four to complete them, unless an extension has been registered.

The Canary Islands' tourism law of 2013 establishes the approval of a regulation for the model of excellence and eco-efficiency, which states that new tourist authorizations in Lanzarote must comply with quality "standards," with "minimal environmental impact," in concepts such as water saving, noise and light pollution, and waste management. However, this regulation has not been approved thirteen years later.
