The environment

Legislation

The landscape profile has, by way of the new Territory Planning and Landscape Protection legislation (Law of June 30th 2004), become very relevant in comparison to previous legislation, including specific landscape studies in Territorial Planning, General Plans and planning tools which will foresee urban growth (PAI’s).

Acoustic impact studies and the precepts of property and water availability related to environmental projects also stand out for having to be put into practice. Moreover, the coming into effect of the future law regulating golf courses, in response to the growing demand for such facilities in the Autonomous Region of Valencia, will require a new set of technical documents associated to their management and establishment.
