Controversy has arisen from the application for an environmental license to establish a construction and demolition waste (CDW) management facility in Sector Cassanya, an area zoned as Undeveloped Developable Land for tertiary and residential use. Its proximity to populated areas and potential impact on land reserved for educational facilities have alarmed residents.

The promoting company, Demoliciones y Servicios Menguilló S.L., claims low environmental impact and bases its request on Land Law articles concerning undeveloped land, classifying its activity as 'industrial' and seeking a 'provisional' license. However, the project documentation categorizes the activity within "Group A," the highest for pollution control, creating contradictions regarding its supposed harmlessness.

Residents oppose the plant's implementation, which involves heavy tonnage truck traffic, open-air waste accumulation, and the operation of crushers generating noise pollution, vibrations, and dust. They warn that such an activity could hinder the area's future urban and tertiary development, creating a "deterrent effect" for future investments.

The objections filed, numbering over a hundred, request the denial of the environmental license and any provisional urban planning authorization. They argue that the project is not an ordinary industrial use compatible with the residential environment and that the proposed corrective measures are insufficient to resolve the urban planning incompatibility.

The situation has sparked political debate. The PSPV of Castellón has submitted its own objection, accusing the PP municipal government of breaching the General Plan and allowing the installation. For its part, the PP attributes the conflict's origin to the General Plan modification made by the previous socialist government and maintains that the objections will be studied before a decision is made.

The case is pending municipal technical and urban planning reports. The company requests a "simplified environmental assessment," but its proximity to inhabited areas might necessitate a more comprehensive environmental impact report. The mayor of Castellón, Begoña Carrasco, is scheduled to meet with the affected residents.
