What people ask for in El Ejido
El Ejido is three places in one: a town centre with a lot of ground-floor commercial premises, a coast with residential estates and plots near the sea, and thousands of hectares of greenhouses with cortijos (farmhouses), warehouses and homes on rural land (suelo rústico).
That is why the most common briefs are so different: changes of use from commercial premises to a home in the centre, extensions and pools in Almerimar and Balerma, and AFO declarations (asimilado a fuera de ordenación), agricultural buildings and warehouses among the greenhouses.
The town hall has its own planning website with the rules of the local plan (PGOU), the forms and the prior notification procedure (comunicación previa) for minor works.
