The ban, which will be approved “within two weeks”, aims to “generate more housing in the center of Madrid” and also to “definitively regulate” VUT, according to Almeida, who detailed two other important measures that have not been approved so far. now they had finalized.
The new regulation, which will be called Special Plan for the Protection of the Residential Environment, will also allow “the transformation of residential buildings for private use into residential buildings in the center of Madrid, provided that they are intended for affordable housing “, “he continued in detail.
Finally, the new standard will make it possible to increase the constructability of buildings for use other than residential, to transform them into residential properties.
