Dan No, I have not really finished furnishing yet so no visitors yet. Strictly intended as a bolthole for family and friends, no plans to rent it out. I want it to be always available to go there on a moments notice. Ian

Paddler With regards to the LFO, the new draft urban plan (PGOU) was made public last summer. The plan provides for the incorporation of Green Hills and many other developments which have been completed for several years, but still don't have a license.the plan will become official when the Town Hall has negociated the finer points of the plan with the Junta de Andalucia (which will involve a necessary degree of dispute, since they are run by opposing political parties). Optimists talk about this spring, others the autumn, it may take even longer to thrash out. So in time, it seems, Green Hills will be in a position to receive its license,but it won't happen tomorrow. In the meantime, the draft PGOU can be downloaded from the Town Hall website, www.marbella.es, including the text which goes into detail about the various categories of legalisation. I also just spent a week at Green Hills. The location is spectacular, the gardens maturing nicely, although I have yet to discover these two dead palms. Ian

A new road seems to be planned leading west from the crossroads below the development, joining the N4340 somewhere towards Los Monteros. There do not seem to be any plans to continue the road running along the bottom of the development where there is currently a dead end. That's my impression, could be wrong of course.

I assume most people already know, but in case they don't, the new draft PGOU (Urban Plan) is on view in Marbella and las Chapas.The Green Hills site is classified as suitable for development of the type "plurifamiliar exento'. I'm not quite sure what this means, my solicitor is looking into it, but many other developments in Elviria have been assigned the same classification. The PGOU will be on view until the end of September, after which the Town Hall will consider appeals before sending the final draft to the Junta for ratification The area of the abandoned upper blocks has been designated for "Adosados Unifamiliar", which are town houses or semi-detached uints, I believe. The area below and around the development, where I understood the golf course was to be sited, has been designated as green space.
