The public prosecutor has signalled its intention to demand the demolition of 98 homes owned by British citizens in Albox, Almeria, which were built on non urban land and, allegedly, without the mandatory municipal licences.
The 98 homes are situated in the El Romeral-La Aljambra area and were constructed between 2004 and 2006 and, according to the courts, “are not legal because they do not comply with current planning laws in Albox”.
Two brothers, known under the initials J.F.A.H. and D.L.A.H., who were developers and builders of the residential complex, under various company names - Proyecto y Construcciones Almanzora SL, Procoal Villas SL and Empire Villas Sl - apparently built the homes on land not zoned for building and without a municipal licence and not only disobeyed an order to cease activity completely but continued to build more properties.

The traditional Ibiza (Spain) house is organized by adding rooms, which give an imperfect image with high plasticity.
In house nº 2, the white cubic volumes are articulated among themselves by means of turns, generating interesting residual spaces and cross views.
This arrangement allows a close relationship between interior and exterior through the organic adaptation of the house on the lot, integrating the existing trees.
The house sits opposite the landscape, to the south, with views of the city of Ibiza, and opposite the mountains, to the north, with views of the countryside.

The president of the Junta de Andalucía, Susana Díaz, stated in Wednesday’s state of the region debate that her government plans to apply changes to Andalucía’s planning laws, or LOUA, which could regularise up to 3,000 illegal properties in Malaga.
The proposed modification refers to Article 185 of the LOUA which states that subdivided plots of land are subject to urban planning and the necessary regulations. Changes to the existing article would allow buildings on these plots to be included in Decree 2/2012 - not previously permitted - which regularises illegal properties under something called ‘asimilado a fuera de ordenacíon’. This measure, while not permitting full legalisation and the granting of primary occupation licences, does permit property owners to access basic services such as electricity and water.
However the reform will only affect small subdivided plots of land - into two parcels or more - and not those on which whole residential estates have been built. Nor does it affect those plots built on protected land or flood plains.
In spite of this the measure could benefit, in terms of Malaga province, around 3,000 homes or six per cent of the total number (estimated at around 50,000) of illegal properties. The figure rises to 20,000 to 25,000 in the whole of Andalucía.

Sierra Blanca Estates proposes to build The World Marbella on land where it had planned one of the skyscrapers that were rejected at the beginning of this year.
The five continents will no longer be represented in Marbella solely by the residents who hail from all over the world. Europe, America, Asia, Africa and Oceania, will give their names to the five sections of a new real estate development, a ‘microworld’ that will boast innovative design, top-of-the-range materials and as many services as residents could ask for.
The World Marbella is the name of Sierra Blanca Estates’ new project to be built on the site just metres from the Golden Mile where they had envisaged building one of the infamous skyscrapers that ended up being rejected by residents and council at the beginning of this year.
The scheme is attractive on paper and a select group of real estate firms are already showing it to potential clients - but only those who might be able to afford the between 1.3 and 3.4 million euros that these exclusive apartments are going on sale for.
