The Supplementary General Plan of Tinajo has already been released for public display and is open for consultation, following the announcement published this Friday by the General Directorate of Territorial Planning of the Canary Islands Government in the Official Gazette. Along with this document, the Environmental Sustainability Report (ISA) is also submitted for public information for a period of 45 days.
The Deputy Minister of Territorial Policy of the Canary Islands Government, Mario Pérez, highlighted "the intense work that the Canary Islands Executive is carrying out to expedite the processing of municipal planning in the Archipelago, through the preparation of supplementary general planning plans, which the Government assumes in place of the town councils, which allows it to collaborate more closely with local entities in territorial planning, with maximum efficiency in the investment of public resources".
In relation to Lanzarote, Pérez recalled the supplementary plans that are currently being processed and that concern the general plans of Arrecife, San Bartolomé and Tinajo, in addition to the one already approved in Yaiza, "which are developed thanks to the economic and human effort of the area of Territorial Policy of the Government of the Canary Islands", and with "the support provided to the localities through the Municipal Planning Offices and other actions carried out through the public company Gestión y Planeamiento Territorial de Canarias (Gesplan)".
In the case of Tinajo, the Canary Islands Government signed an agreement with the City Council on February 3, 2014, under the Law on Renovation and Modernization of Tourism in the Canary Islands. Under this agreement, "the Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Territorial Policy assumes the commitment to proceed with the adaptation of the general planning in force in the municipality of Tinajo, through the formulation, processing and approval of the General Plan of Ordering of said municipality, with supplementary character and without limitation of content. For its part, the City Council undertakes to provide the Ministry with all the information and documentation processed or prepared that it deems necessary to complete the drafting of the aforementioned General Plan".
The announcement published this Friday, in which both documents are acknowledged, specifies that they can be consulted from 09.00 to 14.00 hours in the offices of the General Directorate of Territorial Planning in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, on the seventh floor of the Multiple Uses Building I, on Agustín Millares Carlo Street, 20; and in the section "Citizen participation" of the website of the Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Territorial Policy of the Government of the Canary Islands.
