It is essential to accurately analyse the real impact of the Medina Llíber Integrated Action Plan (PAI) on the regional landscape::
1. True scope of the regional landscape:
The PAI in Medina Llíber has been related to the Landscape of Regional Relevance “Depressions and mountain ranges from Gallinera to Castell de Castells”. But how relevant is Medina Llíber in this context? According to concrete data, this area represents only 0.07% of the total landscape. It is essential to understand that this minimal percentage does not significantly compromise the integrity of the regional landscape.
2. Municipal and urban context:
It is crucial to recognise that the regional landscape area includes multiple municipalities, including inner towns (Image 1) and their urban developments (Image 2).
Why Medina Llíber, no, and the rest, yes? Doesn’t Llíber have the right to a sustainable economic development?
It is true that, in terms of surface area, Medina Llíber represents 3.5 times the surface area of the village centre. It is equally or even more true that the extensive residential area of Jalón represents 9.5 times its urban area. Does that mean anything?
3. Legal and environmental transparency:
It is important to highlight that the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is fully in force, according to recent reports from different administrations. Therefore, requiring the additional regulations to be applied in an arbitrary manner could be in contradiction with the principles of legality and legal certainty established in the Spanish Constitution.
In conclusion, it is essential to approach the EPI debate in Medina Llíber with a clear understanding of the data and the context..
