Lagos approves changes to the PDM and avoids losing access to national and European funds

The necessary opinions have already been requested from the CCDR

The Lagos Chamber has already approved the proposal to amend the Municipal Master Plan (PDM), so that it will comply with the new soil classification rules provided for by law, avoiding losing the right to apply for national and community financial support.

The new law “provides for the suspension of the right of municipal councils to apply for certain national and community financial support and to enter into program contracts if the procedural conference on the adequacy of the PDM to the new soil classification rules does not take place by 31 March of the current year for reasons attributable to them».

In this way, by approving the proposal within the deadline, «the municipality of Lagos avoids any penalties in this regard».

«In addition to the mandatory reduction of urbanizable areas, to which all municipalities are legally obliged, this amendment to the Lagos PDM provides, among other aspects, for the improvement of the regulation regarding the rules for the relocation and legalization of buildings or the location of new centers generators, which now have the mountain area as a priority area for installation», according to the Lagos Chamber.

Following this decision, taken at the last Chamber Meeting, the municipality asked the Algarve Regional Coordination and Development Commission (CCDR) "to collect the different opinions of external entities that have to comment on the proposal, thus ensuring compliance with the deadline set in the territorial management instruments regime for holding the procedural conference'.

After collecting the opinions, the final proposal to amend the PDM will be prepared, “which will be subject to a period of public discussion and only then to the appreciation and approval by the Municipal Assembly”.
