New PGOM outlined at legal conference
Marbella’s mayor presented the new planning framework to sector professionals.
Marbella Mayor Ángeles Muñoz took part in a legal conference focused on the new General Municipal Urban Development Plan, known in Spanish as the PGOM. The event was held at the Adolfo Suárez Conference and Exhibition Centre.
The presentation was attended by members of the professional colleges for lawyers and property administrators. Councillor José Eduardo Díaz accompanied the mayor during the session.
The conference provided an opportunity to share the content of the proposed planning framework with professionals whose work involves urban development, property administration and related legal matters.
Existing urbanisations included in planning approach
The PGOM recognises existing urbanisations and provides for future municipal reception.
The plan takes account of the existing reality of urbanisations. It also enables their future reception through the Urban Development Plan, or POU.
This establishes a planning route for addressing the position of existing urbanisations within the municipality’s wider urban framework. The verified announcement does not set out a timetable or individual developments affected.
Fifteen regulations included in recent package
A separate package aims to modernise rules and support changing economic needs.
Muñoz also presented a recently approved package of modifications covering 15 urban-planning regulations.
The stated aims are to update the current regulatory framework, make land uses more flexible and encourage new investment. The changes are also intended to adapt planning rules to the current needs of productive sectors.
No individual projects, investment amounts or specific land-use changes were identified in the announcement.
Why this matters in Marbella
Planning changes can influence how property and development rules evolve locally.
For residents, owners and businesses in Marbella, the PGOM is relevant because it addresses existing urbanisations and sets out a route for their possible future reception through the POU.
The wider regulatory package may also affect how land uses and urban-planning requirements develop. However, the announcement does not specify the consequences for particular properties, urbanisations or applications.
Marbella’s planning regulations have been adapted to Andalusia’s Law on the Promotion of Sustainability in the Territory, known as LISTA. The city was the first in the autonomous community to approve it.
What readers should know
Check official Marbella planning information before relying on general announcements.
Owners, residents, property administrators and professionals with a specific planning question should consult Marbella City Hall’s official urban-planning information and seek advice relevant to their individual circumstances.
The announcement does not provide a list of affected urbanisations, implementation dates or property-specific decisions. Readers should therefore avoid treating the general presentation as confirmation of a particular outcome for an individual site.
