Santa Eulària Town Council yesterday presented a written statement of objections against the Balearic Government’s General Ports Plan, in which it requests that “the uses and facilities of the port of Santa Eulària, as well as the data relating to the buildings and their nature, should be included with greater detail, and to include, as until now within the port area, the Municipal Sailing School and the swallows’ wharf, as the new Plan’s boundaries left these facilities out, which could mean the disappearance of training activities for children and young people”.
Furthermore, it rejects the wording of the draft decree which generically allows any commercial, cultural, sporting, recreational or similar use “which is necessarily complementary to port or maritime activity”, which would allow restaurants, café-concerts or nightclubs within the port area without prior coordination with urban planning.
Likewise, the Council requested a modification of the port boundary in relation to the promenade, “excluding it from being allocated to port use, since, de facto, it is maintained by the Town Council”, as explained in a press release.
In fact, the Council has already presented around twenty objections to the initial approval of the Balearic Govern’s General Ports Plan. Some of the objections raised “are based on errors or omissions regarding the data provided by the Executive for the correct planning or port management in the area of the municipality”. Others, adds the Council, “involve asking for greater detail in terms of uses or proposing possible new beaching ramps, as well as requesting that these be free of charge, so as to facilitate recreational boating for small owners”.
