The Mijas Town Hall will facilitate urban planning procedures through a new directive, already approved by the Local Government Board, which prioritises social housing, the modernisation of the hotel sector, the installation of renewable energies, electricity self-consumption, and job creation within the municipality.
This was announced on Thursday 19th by the mayoress of the city, Ana Mata (PP), who reported that this modification is based on the Junta de Andalucía’s decree-law on administrative simplification and rationalisation, which aims to streamline procedures and eliminate unnecessary paperwork. “Mijas is taking another step forward to make it easier for citizens and businesses to obtain licences, carry out projects and make investments for the benefit of the entire municipality”, she said.
The new directive, already in effect, seeks to improve the processing of licences with a guarantee of legal certainty, transparency and administrative efficiency, “for the benefit of citizens, Mijas’ economic activity, and Urban Planning staff”, she added.
Priority projects
This new framework classifies as priority those files related to public or private social housing developments; the renovation and modernisation of hotel facilities to upgrade their category; works for the thermal use of renewable energy in homes; electricity self-consumption of up to 100 kW, or electric vehicle charging points.
Public or private facilities will also be a priority, as will projects that contribute to the economic and social growth of the municipality (those with an execution budget exceeding€5 million euros or involving the employment of more than 50 workers); and projects that enhance architectural quality by showcasing historical or contemporary heritage, maintaining the cultural identity of Mijas through their integration into the land or landscape.
Furthermore, any works or activities that, due to their general strategic, social, economic, or tourist nature, are declared as priority processing by the Local Government Board will also be included.

This renewed procedure will begin with the verification of the integrity of the application and the corresponding urban development project. If the documentation is incomplete or has formal defects, the applicant will be requested only once to complete the file within ten working days. Once the documentation is complete, the file will be admitted for processing, and independent tasks will be assigned for the issuance of: technical-urban planning reports; a report on the availability of necessary urban services; a technical report on installations; and a legal report.
These reports will conclude with a reasoned ruling, which may be favourable; conditionally favourable; a request for further documentation; or unfavourable. As a result of this process, licences will be granted or denied.
The mayoress announced that works may begin once the licence conditions have been met; the execution project and the responsible declaration have been submitted; the health and safety study has been submitted; and when the land representation has been verified in cases where it borders plots designated for public use.
