The (CNMC) published a 262-page study on 5 November 2026, proposing that all land not subject to protection be deemed suitable for urbanisation. President Juan José Ganuza advocates for a less rigid model.
The report suggests a digital single window for sectoral reports and the use of AI to automate planning verifications. It also recommends replacing prior administrative questioning with responsible declarations, a measure requested by the APCE and CNC since 2021.
Current administrative bottlenecks delay building licenses by up to 18 months. These proposals follow the withdrawal of government Land Law reforms in 2024, aiming to prevent the total annulment of urban plans due to minor technical or formal errors.
