The truth is that they are not 488 villas. This project contemplates the construction of 276 villas and 212 apartments in a Spanish village, to be developed gradually over time. Of these dwellings, land has been provided free of charge for the construction of 84 properties to the M.I. Ayuntamiento de Llíber for, among others, the construction of social and inclusive housing and thus attract the population of the region, which also reinforces the population.
In fact, the different administrations recognise the validity of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), which was favourable and is in full force and effect. In addition, Llíber Town Council has responded to the request for information on compliance with the conditions established in the EIS.
It is important to highlight that, prior to the final approval of the Partial Plan, all the conditions established in the EIS have been rectified. These include the carrying out of a study of the ravine, the correct functioning of the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) through the implementation of an alternative collector, the drawing up of an Environmental Monitoring Plan, and the waste collection system, which will be carried out by the local municipal company, subject to the payment of the corresponding fees by the owners of the properties. These steps demonstrate the project’s commitment to compliance with environmental and legal requirements.
Regarding the supply of drinking water, it is clear that no dwelling can be inhabited without this basic service. However, it is clarified that at no point in the internal report of the Xaló Town Council does it mention that the water supply of the surrounding towns, such as Llíber, Alcalalí, Xaló, Parcent, Benissa, Senija and Benigembla, could be endangered. In fact, these towns have several sources of water catchment. Only Xaló, Llíber, Parcent and, occasionally, Alcalalí are supplied from the 2 wells owned by the Parcent Irrigation Community.
Despite the sensationalist claims, and according to the project recently presented to the confederation, applying their calculation system, it is estimated that consumption of this project, once completed, will be 61,000 m³ per year, which represents a daily consumption of 167m³. These quantities are significantly lower than the annual consumption of Llíber, which in 2022 was 216,000m³. Furthermore, this consumption is insignificant compared to the capacity of the water system of La Vall, approved by the Confederation, which amounts to 2,077,000 m³ per year for Llíber, Alcalalí, Xaló and Parcent.
To conclude, it is imperative to address this controversy with accurate information and proper context. The 488 housing project in Llíber is still underway, meeting the relevant legal and environmental requirements. It is essential to disprove false statements and promote an informed and constructive dialogue on this crucial issue for local developmen
