The hotel developer Lopesan can now take action with the land it has in Fuerteventura to develop the Dreamland audiovisual project with the majorero group Newport and not experience administrative delays on the El Cortijo ravine, in Telde. Lopesan considered having land in the south of Gran Canaria under her control but ultimately could not obtain approval from the local authorities.
The authorities of Pájara during the time of Pedro Armas as mayor, until May 2023, left open the possibility of hosting Dreamland if the project failed in Gran Canaria. Thus, to the south of the Morro Jable dock, the use of land is allowed not for tourism but for industrial and commercial use. According to Diario de Fuerteventura there are 106.000 meters that become rustic, although in the vicinity there is land that would maintain a developable character for industry and commerce).
Lopesan has land in Fuerteventura that he once bought from the Winter family. The Pájara City Council approved the urbanization project for this land bag in February 2001 and, in November, required the promoter, the company Dehesa de Jandía, owned by the Lopesan group, to present execution projects, treatment plant, desalination plant and field golf. But it was never urbanized or built, Diario de Fuerteventura recalled this week. The so-called SUP 0 Tablero del Moro has an area of 295.420 square meters and its objective was to “complete the land suitable for building in the vicinity of the port of Morro Jable” to the south. Its use is for tourism and it was planned to build 82.052 square meters of buildings, with a capacity of 2.735 beds.
The new General Plan for this piece highlights that “it is not contiguous to the urban land” of Morro Jable and is “reclassified as common rural reserve land.” The declassification is not going to be peaceful: Lopesan presented allegations at an earlier stage, demanding the “return” of “given properties” and demanding “compensation for the damages suffered.” The General Plan team, which dismissed the allegation, replied that it had never presented “a new adapted partial plan.” The partial plan to develop this piece of land was approved by the Canary Islands Territorial Planning and Environment Commission (Cotmac) in June 2000. However, when the General Plan of Pájara was judicially annulled in February 2003 , the main consequence was the “nullity” of all urban development acts after December 1998, when the PGO had been approved.
