This proposal also begins to
define the type of construction
that is wanted in Xàbia, to recover
the values of the Mediterranean
architecture and be more energy
efficient.
Traditional dry stone walls
are also protected and the three
historical centres are declared as
items of Local Relevance (BRL):
the Old Town, the Duanes of the
Port, and the Granadella.
The preliminary version includes
all the sectoral regulations that
have been approved by the
regional administration in recent
years (forestry, flood zones or
coastal areas), thus providing
legal security to all planning.
In general terms, the urbanizable
land, is cut from 10.5 million
square meters earmarked in the
1990 PGOU, to 2.89 million.
The Town Hall proposes a total
growth limit of 1.3 million square
metres. Among the areas to be
protected are sectors I, II and III
of the Saladar, which has been
tagged as a protected rural area of
archaeological value.
The golf sector (more than 1
million square meters have been
declassified) leaving the area
where the golf course is located as
a sports area.
