The representative of Ciudadanos in Foios has conveyed the concern of several residents in the municipality regarding the possible improper use of farm sheds and constructions on non-urbanizable land as habitual residences. He emphasized the need for the City Council to act preventively to avoid the consolidation of irregular situations that affect the legal security of property owners.
“"It is essential that owners are not surprised by accomplished facts in their constructions, especially when it comes to uses that contravene current urban planning regulations."
In this regard, the Ciudadanos representative urges the Council to explore legal mechanisms that allow notifying owners of any indication of unauthorized use in their agricultural sheds, thus guaranteeing the protection of their rights and the integrity of their properties.
One of the key points of the warning lies in the pressure exerted by neighboring municipalities. According to the representative, control and reinforcement measures against irregular occupation adopted in nearby towns can cause the problem to shift to Foios if clear preventive barriers are not established.
“"It is important to anticipate and not wait for the problem to manifest intensely before acting."
From Ciudadanos Foios, a comprehensive course of action is proposed, including reinforced inspection of non-urbanizable land, municipal coordination between services, clear regulations on permitted uses in rural constructions, and padrón control to verify effective residency in administrative procedures linked to rural land.
Finally, it has been stressed that the occupation or use of land and constructions without the owners' permission —including continuous agricultural use by third parties— can lead to serious legal responsibilities. Therefore, a "zero tolerance" policy towards irregularity is advocated to preserve neighborhood coexistence and strengthen security in the rural area of Foios.
