The Consell de Ibiza has opened for public exhibition the demolition project of the unfinished structure of Cala d’en Serra, in the municipality of Sant Joan. The initiative, published Thursday in the Official Gazette of the Balearic Islands (BOIB), is a new decisive step for the environmental recovery of one of the most deteriorated enclaves in the north of the island.
The insular institution has initially approved the execution project of the demolition works, considering as a priority the landscape restoration of the area. The document, approved last
After the public exposition, the interested parties may present allegations. If none are registered, the project will be finally approved. At the same time, the Council will apply to the City Council of Sant Joan for the planning permission and the 95% ICIO rebate, as it is an action considered of special municipal interest.
A key breakthrough in a process expected for decades
The public exhibition of the project is a continuation of the administrative progress made in recent months. In June, the Consell Executiu awarded the drafting of the executive project and the construction management for an amount of 96,800 euros (VAT included), which allowed to start the technical work prior to the demolition.
Then, both the president of the Consell, Vicent Marí, and the mayor of Sant Joan, Tania Marí, stressed the importance of this intervention to “close a visual and ecological wound” in the north coast. The structure, initially intended to become a hotel complex, was left half built in the seventies and since then has meant an environmental and landscape impact in an area of special natural value.
With the processing of the demolition project already underway, the Consell is moving towards the comprehensive restoration of this environment, in line with the strategies for the protection of the territory and the coastline that the institution defends for Ibiza.
