The Ibiza City Council will take the first step this Monday to create a new green zone between Els Llimoners and La Real. The municipal plenary session will vote on the initial approval of a modification to the General Urban Development Plan that will allow for the transformation of 3,273 square meters of municipal property into public open space.

The Urban Planning Department of Palma City Council approved this Tuesday a modification of the General Urban Development Plan (PGOU) to incorporate a new road linked to the development of the strategic residential project of Son Puigdorfila, where more than 600 homes are planned to be built, more than half of which will have some form of protection. The action provides for the opening of Carrer del Pensament to guarantee the accessibility of the future residential area and connect it with the existing road network, as reported by the City Council in a statement.

The new General Urban Development Plan (PGOU) for Ariany maintains the urban land use as defined by current regulations and does not contemplate any expansion for residential or tourist use. In fact, the only planned growth is the increase in land specifically designated for infrastructure or public services. This was all made public at the official ceremony where the President of the Council of Mallorca, Llorenç Galmés, presented the documentation for the new urban development plan to the Mayor of Ariany, Joan Ribot. The City Council will now issue its initial approval. The Island Director of Urban Planning and Municipal Development, María José Frau, also attended the event. The designated public service areas are slated to include municipal facilities such as public parking, school and sports facilities, green spaces, and a pedestrian connection. It is worth noting that this pedestrian walkway has long been requested by the City Council and will connect the town center, the cemetery, the recycling center, and the Ses Torres roundabout.
