Most read

An organization from Tandil denounced that there is an attempt to expand a huge real estate project in a protected natural area.

This denouncement comes from the Assembly for the Preservation of the Sierras, which claims that a private project promises the development of a neighborhood in a protected area. They point to the Territorial Development Plan.

The specific plot is Chacra 274, located between Paseo Centinela and La Porteรฑa. The organization called for a reaction from the authorities in response to the real estate advancement.

Serious complaint: real estate project in protected natural area

The organization, dedicated to the preservation of the sierras, expressed their discontent with the promotion of a real estate venture that claims to build a neighborhood with ecological services, but in a protected natural area.

The area of the real estate project. The area of the real estate project, as denounced by the organization.

This is within the context of the current Territorial Development Plan (PDT). According to the information provided, it concerns lot 274, located in a rural area between Paseo Centinela and La Porteรฑa.

In that area, the altitude above sea level ranges between 260 and 280 meters, with many points exceeding that height. It is worth noting that the PDT prohibits construction above 220 meters above sea level.

The real estate project

Within the current plan, the land in question is a Protected Natural Area. The targeted development is a project called โ€œMiradores de Montecristoโ€œ. Through their website, they present a masterplan that guarantees the conservation of the sustainable characteristics of the landโ€™s urbanization.

They also propose the idea that users should reuse rainwater. Additionally, for effluent treatment, each owner must build their own plant, making a biodigester mandatory.

โ€œThe masterplan states that the services mentioned must be
generated by the buyers, organized as a work cooperative, and the conditions established imply a transfer of municipal and provincial Territorial Planning competence to a commission of owners,โ€ explained the Association.

โ€œThey do not have acquired rights because they never had approved plans, meaning they did not use the option to build when they had it, before 1977,โ€ they pointed out.

โ€œItโ€™s simple, it was legal to build those plots when provincial Law 8912 did not exist, nor did the PDT. Today, this project goes against the regulations that the vast majority of people respect,โ€ they emphasized.

Appeal to authorities

In their publication, the Assembly for the Preservation of the Sierras addressed a paragraph to the city authorities. They directly requested a โ€œreaction to excessive advertisingโ€ of something that does not comply with current regulations.

โ€œThe issue is not who is profiting from selling lots, but what we are doing with the city and how citizens comply with the Territorial Planning to avoid feeling foolish in the face of slick marketing ploys that destroy the city,โ€ they demanded.

As they mentioned, on that disputed land, only one dwelling could be built.
