The Plenary Session of the Sagunto City Council has once again requested the Generalitat Valenciana to declare Montaña Romeu as a municipal natural area, after the Superior Court of Justice of the Valencian Community declared null and void the decree of the Consell declaring the enclave of Romeu as municipal natural area, before a resource from LafargeHolcim Spain. In this sense, the municipal plenary session, in an extraordinary session held this morning, has approved this request with the votes in favor of PSOE, Compromís and EU, and the votes against of IP, PP, Cs, Vox and the non-affiliated group. The file is from Urban Planning, whose delegate councilor is Quico Fernández.
The approved agreement affects requesting the declaration of the area for an area of 275.88 hectares, “according to the delimitation and other determinations reflected in Decree 39/2019, of the Consell”, but asking the Generalitat to incorporate two additional questions. On the one hand, that it correct “those defects that have deserved an annulment judicial estimate, due to lack of sufficient motivation and having to be, in the final solution to be approved, what results from the correct attention to them.” On the other hand, take into account the unexpected regulatory forecast (art. 5.4 of Legislative Decree 1/2021, TRLOTUP). On a second point, the Plenary has requested the Ministry, taking into account the documentation approved at the time, to “technically draft the appropriate corrections sufficient to correct the judicially indicated deficiencies.” The text also states that the City Council will proceed to make the appropriate statements and economic commitments, as well as provide the data that is required.
The municipal Plenary approved in February 2017 to request the Generalitat to declare Montaña Romeu as a municipal natural area. The Generalitat approved it in March 2019, and later, in March 2022, the TSJ upheld the Lafarge appeal and annulled and rendered null and void the decree of the Generalitat Council. Finally, the Supreme Court did not admit the appeals against this annulment sentence and, consequently, the declaration is null and void and is no longer valid.
