AN urban green belt of 719'900 square metres could be created in Palma, according to the head of the town planning department, Juan Jose Ferrando, and the technical director of the same department, Lourdes Bosch.
They said that Palma council has provisionally approved the necessary adaptation of the Territorial Plans, and once they receive final approval, which could happen within a year, the new urban park could come into being.
The proposed urban park will stretch from the Sa Riera park to the end of the planned park in Establiments.
Of the total area, 119'700 square metres corresponds to the Sa Riera park, while 153'816 square metres corresponds to the planned extension of this park, and 446'384 square metres corresponds to the planned park in Establiments.
This will make it the second biggest green zone after Bellver Woods.
Bosch said that Palma's General Territorial Plan had been adapted to 69 rules from the Island Territorial Plan and five Balearic Government regional plans, covering roads, non-dangerous residues, energy, telecommunications and transport.
A further 25 hectares of land has been released for urban development. This would incorporate land which is rural at the moment but could become urban land in the future.
Finally, Bosch said that with regard to heritage items, routes of cultural and landscape interest would be standardised.
Bosch and Ferrando were accompanied by technicians from their department, who have been working on the adaptation of the Territorial Plans since March 2005.
