Estimates point to costs close to €30,000 for every 1,000 m² of land. If we add mandatory internal works (pumps, trenches, adaptations), the final outlay could exceed €40,000 per family.
Why are we concerned about this project?
We want an urbanization with adequate services, but we disagree with the approach, management, and communication of this project. We believe it has moved forward without offering all necessary information and without seeking a real consensus that protects the most vulnerable families.
A difficult burden to bear
The budget exceeds 13 million euros. For many neighbors, a special assessment of this magnitude is not just a high expense, but a real risk to their financial stability, potentially leading to critical debt situations.
A decision with low visibility
Approval was passed with only 76 votes in favor at an assembly where the importance of the vote was not sufficiently highlighted. Many residents feel that a decision affecting over 300 families required a broader and more transparent debate.
Administrative Consequences
Regulations provide for surcharges and enforcement procedures in case of non-payment. This situation generates uncertainty and concern, potentially creating unnecessary tensions in neighborhood coexistence if viable alternatives for everyone are not sought.
What factors influence this project?
We consider that the current project design prioritizes expansive technical and urban planning criteria, without sufficiently taking into account the social and economic reality of current residents.
- For large land holders, urbanization is an opportunity for revaluation.
- For the administration, it represents compliance with regulations and future revenue.
- For resident neighbors, it involves financing infrastructure whose cost seems disproportionate to the immediate benefit.
What do we propose as neighbors?
This neighborhood group advocates for transparency, study of alternatives, and consensus. We ask for:
- An independent technical review to evaluate more sustainable and economical sanitation options.
- Ensuring that decisions of such magnitude strictly comply with desirable participation quorums.
- Protecting families against projects that could compromise their primary residence.
