The Cabildo of Lanzarote has provisionally authorized the tourist classification of the Princesa Yaiza hotel, located in the southern municipality.
Sources from the Island Council have confirmed to La Voz that it was the Government Council of the Cabildo of Lanzarote that, following a report and the express resolution of the Coast Directorate, decided to provisionally authorize the hotel complex.
At the same time, in which it has indicated that "we do not analyze anything urbanistic", they have reported, but "the sectorial regulations of tourism". Thus, the Governing Council has assured that it complies with the Tourism Law. However, the urban planning license depends on the Yaiza City Council.
For his part, the mayor of Yaiza, has told La Voz that "we have not received any notification, yesterday I was looking at the headquarters and today I am going to check it through ASIR entry records and others, but it is true that the Princesa Yaiza does not comply with the urban planning license, it does not comply at the urban level." "It was given at the time license to demolish and roof covered areas, did not do the entire demolition project that had to do, did a part and the technicians, went and reviewed, but did not comply. Therefore, it was not proceeded to legalize." "So far he has not presented anything else, nor has he done anything else, nor has he tried to legalize."
"What the property will have achieved now, is that authorization of tourist activity that until now had not been given and now yes, but the hotel is not legalized, it does not have an urban planning or legalization license," added Óscar Noda.
The Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands (TSJC) annulled the license of the Princesa Yaiza Hotel. After that, the City Council itself pointed out that it was "impossible" to legalize the hotel, having more than 5,000 square meters of what is allowed. Without undertaking the demolition of part of the establishment its legalization would not be possible.
