Incidencia de los informes sectoriales estatales en el planeamiento

Abstract

According to Spanish legislation, certain bodies of the State Sectorial Administration have to report on the instruments of Territorial and Urban Planning in order to coordinate national competencies with those of the regional and local administrations. These reports, mandatory and binding, have a considerable impact on planning, not only in its long process of elaboration and procedure, but also in the planning proposal that they end up establishing. The present article examines the proceeding followed in the Urban Masterplan procedure: when the reports are requested, when they should be issued and what their object and scope is. This study allows to formulate possible answers to the core of the problem, which is based in the need to coordinate Urban Planning, with its a global nature, with sectorial policies which are essential to guarantee the necessary public services to structure the territory in functional terms. These answers would involve the full incorporation of the principle of open administration into these reports
