At FA Abogados, we translate this complex legislation into clear and effective solutions for you. Our team of urban planning lawyers in Marbella will accompany you through every stage of your project, from the initial assessment of a plot of land to obtaining the first occupation licence, ensuring that every step complies with current legislation.

Case studies:
Urban planning cases on the Costa del Sol

  • Legalisation of housingWe successfully managed the legalisation of a villa in the Elviria area that didn't fully comply with the original licence, thereby avoiding a hefty fine for the owner and regularising their situation.

  • Works permitsWe intervened to expedite the granting of a building licence for a small residential complex in Benahavís, which had been stalled due to technical discrepancies with local regulations.

FAQ

Do I need a lawyer to apply for a building licence?

Although not obligatory, it is highly recommended. A specialist lawyer will ensure that the application is complete and correct, avoiding requests that delay the process and defending you against possible rejections.

What can I do if I have received a demolition order?

You must act immediately. Contact us to review the case, determine if there are any formal or substantive defects, and lodge the appropriate legal appeals within the established timeframe.

How can I find out what can be built on my plot of land?

We conducted a detailed urban planning study of your plot, analysing the Marbella General Development Plan (PGO) and applicable regulations to accurately inform you about buildability, permitted uses, setbacks, and other conditions.

A planning objection is a formal statement of disagreement with a proposed town planning or land use plan.

If a new urban development plan negatively affects your property (for example, by changing its land classification), we will help you draft and submit well-founded objections during the public consultation period to defend your rights.
