The City Council does not accept the arguments of the Greens on to Cabueñes

Gijón City Council accepts a number of allegations of Los Verdes de Asturias to PGO, but not on Cabueñes and Castiello

Though accepting to be kept rural Gijon, the City would not want to keep Castiello Cabueñes or rural. In the arguments requested to prevent the growth of the city occupying rural land, which in the opinion of the Greens, in the case of Cabueñes also favored speculation, as demonstrated by the enrichment of both the former municipal architect Ovidio Blanco as the firms that benefited from the reclassification who had purchased agricultural land previously. Claim

PGO Gijón

In response to the allegations made by Los Verdes de Asturias, Gijón City Council accepts most of them, namely

1.03 - The need to preserve the value of rural landscape, the Gijon countryside
1.04 - The need for provide and reserve allocations required for waste management
1.05 - Urban design must create mobility for the quality of life: intermodal transport, non-motorized transport turnover
1.06 - Vegetation in the city to moderate the climate, renewable energy and saving
energy 1.07 - Sustainability in the water supply and sanitation
1.08 - Reduce air pollution, noise, electromagnetic and light.
1.09 - Maintain and protect biodiversity, protect soils of high agronomic value, to prevent alien species resp 20110228

claims
PGO
instead dismisses the allegations that

1.01 - The city should not grow at the expense of transforming urban land in rural and Castiello Cabueñes case, this model increases the ecological footprint and it is not necessary
01.02 - No land for development should be increased at the expense of rural areas, but move towards a compact city, promoting the rehabilitation
1.03 - The Plan as it is consolidated in real estate speculation and Castiello Cabueñes

In rejecting these claims the City is an argument that is not contained in the Greens or the allegation and rejected this argument invented. As the session was requested to exhaust the built in rural communities. The claim called instead focus on rehabilitation, to avoid second homes, avoid residential tourism, preserve agricultural land and native forest, and not to disperse the population, but opt \u200b\u200bfor a compact city favoring the minimization of displacement and promoting equity access to public services

The original claim says " recognizes that there are 7,098 empty homes built without use, which are closed and there are other 13,133 that are considered second homes, which will surely have a very limited use. .... Should be chosen a model with no increase in the undeveloped land occupation "

should therefore encourage the restoration and rehabilitation of existing housing, especially those built more than 30 years, using sustainable building criteria and following energy saving criteria, maximum isolation (to minimize energy losses) and use of renewable energy.

should relate only to demand real edification and existing homes to room, never the speculative demand, tourism or residential, so that planning meets the housing needs, discouraging while scattered urban development at the expense of occupying peri-rural areas.

in rural communities should reject the prevailing model of 2 second residence, with the increased use of vehicles and municipal services involved rigged, promoting instead the rehabilitation of existing housing and construction, as long as 1 second residence should concentrate on improving core elements within the lost functions, such as stables and barns.

should encourage the rehabilitation of traditional architecture, which now is threatened, and should respect the traditional style of buildings in the core. " So nothing do with the municipal response.
both are attached City Council response as initial allegations.
