The Valencina de la Concepción Town Hall has begun processing the Huerta de San Roque project, which will allow the construction of 55 homes, 11 of which will be protected. The plan had been stalled for over 18 years.

The Valencina de la Concepción Town Hall has officially started the processing of the Huerta de San Roque Project, an urban development that had been blocked for more than 18 years. The council has used the simplified processing route provided by the Law for the Promotion of Territorial Sustainability of Andalusia (LISTA) to unlock the initiative.

The project includes the construction of 55 homes, of which 11 will be protected and the remaining 44 will be for free market rent. The Town Hall highlights that this action addresses one of the most pressing needs of the municipality, which is access to housing, and they hope it will also attract private investment under a framework of legal security.

The decision comes after nearly two decades of paralysis, a period during which the land has remained undeveloped. The local government team has emphasized that the unlocking is the result of efficient and rigorous public management, and has insisted that the simplified processing allows for expedited timelines without compromising legal guarantees.

For the residents of Valencina de la Concepción, the launch of the Huerta de San Roque represents a concrete step towards expanding the housing stock of the municipality, especially in the official protection segment, one of the most sought after in Aljarafe. The initiative also paves the way for future developments in the locality.

The Town Hall has not yet specified the construction schedule or the estimated delivery date for the homes, but confirms that the processing is already underway. In the coming weeks, the publication of the first administrative procedures is expected, which will provide more details about the project and its execution.
