In response to Cariad reply.  I agree that if a building is not completed in the alloted 3 years and registered with the Ajuntament then they can cancel the licence.  BUT how many buildings have been built in Ginestar and the Ajuntament have not inspected them, therefore they are not registered but they have not cancelled those licences. The majority were built without Architect Projects (50sq.m or less) therefore they did not need an independant architect - has the Ajuntament architect inspected these properties as they are all illegal buildings - they have all been built with Almacen licences.  The licences cancelled are either properties selected at random by Government officials higher up the chain, or unfinished projects some of which have demolition orders on them. The Ajuntament know that some of the licences that they cancelled were completed buildings.  They were happy to take - and continue to take - taxes from the owners.   They only started to cancel licences once higher up Government officials came on the scene.The Ajuntament web site makes good reading as they post the minutes of their meetings. The silent majority have no problem now but what for the future - may they also be selected at random at a later date!!!
