Urban Law

What Urban Legal Advice Do We Provide?

At FORTUNY LAWYERS, we understand that urban planning law is essential to understanding how land can be developed and used in Spain. Our urban planning department provides expert legal advice to individuals, investors, developers, and public entities in real estate and land use projects.

We assist clients in navigating the legal complexities of urban development, zoning, land classification, and building permissions, ensuring full compliance with local and regional planning regulations. Whether you’re buying a plot of land, planning a construction project, or considering a change in land use, our team offers legal clarity and strategic guidance at every stage.

Commitment

Our services include:

1. Comprehensive Planning

Analysis of urban planning instruments, including General Urban Development Plans (PGOU). 

2. Due Dilligence

Legal due diligence for land or property acquisition. 

3. Complete Guidance

Assistance in obtaining planning permissions and building licences. 

4. Expert Advice

Advice on land reclassification, expropriations, and zoning regulations. 

5. Legal Representation

Representation in administrative and judicial proceedings. 

6. Coordination

Coordination with architects and urban planners for development feasibility reports.

A prime example of how urban planning can impact investment decisions is Marbella, where the 1986 Urban Plan is currently in force, following the annulment of the 2010 revision by the Spanish Supreme Court. A new plan is now in development, making legal oversight even more critical.

To ensure your project is legally sound and strategically viable, we often recommend obtaining an architectural report that evaluates what can be built, how much it will cost, and the timeframes involved.

We act as independent advisors at FORTUNY LAWYERS, combining deep legal expertise with practical insight. We’re here to ensure that your investment is protected, your project is viable, and your interests are fully represented.
