The Official Association of Architects of the Balearic Islands (COAIB) warns that the coastal law promoted by the Marga Prohens Government could open the door to perpetuating urban illegalities on the coast. The professional entity warns that the conservation of existing uses, responsible declarations, and the new coastal heritage registry could protect illegally established constructions and activities.

Housing construction grew by 17.85% in the first half of 2025 in the Balearic Islands compared to the same period last year, according to data released Wednesday by the Association of Architects, which reflect a 15.70% increase in construction in general. The association attributes a large part of this increase in approved projects to the entry into force of Decree Law 3/2024 and the subsequent Law 7/2024 on urgent measures for administrative simplification and rationalization—the amnesty for rural land—promoted by the PP government with the support of Vox.
