The Community of Madrid approves the implementation of protected housing in land plots and office buildings.

The LAW ON URBAN MEASURES FOR THE PROMOTION OF PROTECTED HOUSING is published in the BOCM.

This new regulation introduces several modifications to the Land Law of the Community of Madrid, and, most significantly, authorizes the construction of protected rental housing on plots or buildings designated for commercial office use.

The homes will be protected under one of the modalities of the Community of Madrid, and must necessarily be intended for rental while the protection regime is maintained.

They may be built on plots, even if they are located on consolidated urban land, on unconsolidated urban land, or on sectorized developable land that have sufficient detailed planning to carry out their execution, with a classification of tertiary use offices, provided they are suitable for construction or have a simultaneous use regime in the urban development.

The implementation of this use on built-up plots will only be for the entire building; it cannot be implemented partially.

This is a temporary regime. The building permit must be requested within two years of the law's entry into force, and the works must be completed within a maximum of three years from their start.

The possibility of implementation is immediate. No Modification of the planning if the conditions indicated for the plots are met.

The conditions of buildability, height, and other urban planning conditions of the corresponding plot will apply, as well as the conditions established in the corresponding sectoral regulations for protected housing.

The change of use entails the obligations of facility transfers provided for by the Land Law, and its monetization is possible. If it is necessary to expand the infrastructure, the execution cost will correspond to to the license applicant.

Licenses must describe the use of protected housing and the rental regime, and the new use and its characteristics must be registered in the Property Registry.

Within two months of the Law's entry into force, city councils may decide not to apply this change of use regime in their municipal area, as well as establish additional conditions or define the territorial scopes for its implementation. This period will not prevent the interested parties from accepting license applications for processing, without prejudice to the final resolution of the procedure.
