Abstract

Perhaps the time has come to calm down and stop the vicious circle of legislative reforms in the field of urban planning law, also at the level of subordinate legislation (decrees and urban planning normative instruments). It is necessary to systematize and simplify all the legislation with the aim of securing the principle of legal certainty. If we face this task, possibly the legal price would be more affordable but only the time will decide whether we succeed in this task. I have to point out that we are before a Catalan regulation that goes to almost the limit of the possible normative configuration in question from the economic perspective, the State and Autonomous Community legal systems and the urban planning normative instruments which have been extraordinary and unprecedented strengthened.
