The Basque Government will direct the promotion of Hell to other municipalities if San Sebastian does not relinquish land
The building has taken the decision not to transfer the land to the Government, which jeopardizes the promotion of around 270 sheltered dwellings for rent.
The Basque Government warns that the public resources envisaged for the promotion of protected housing in the "Hell" area of San Sebastián will be allocated to other municipalities if the City Council does not facilitate the transfer of land, thus responding to the decision of the Department of Housing and Urban Agenda to maintain ownership of the land by the Etxegintza municipal society.
The Basque Government stresses that, without this transfer, the planned aid will be incorporated into the 2027 Visesa programme contract for other protected housing promotions in the Basque Country, which would prevent the development in the short term of action which it considers strategic for the Guipuzcoana capital.
The Basque Government has stressed that the project would make it possible to build 270 protected and assessed rental housing units and would help to alleviate the current high demand, particularly among young people, and facilitate access to decent housing.
Jon Insausti Donostiamayor, following the Etxegintza decision, argued that "urban planning is the autonomy of the City Council" in relation to municipal competence over land use.
Despite the disagreement, the department headed by Denis Itxaso has "absolute readiness" tocarry out the promotion in San Sebastian, a city that they consider a priority because of its high tension and lack of protected housing.
The Basque Government plans to approve the 2027 Visesa programme contract on 13 May, with just over 800 homes divided into six municipalities. The inclusion of "Hell" in this framework will depend on the final decision of the City Council.
The Basque Government has also ensured that the budgetary availability is complete and would bear both the cost of building and the management of rent through Alokabide, without affecting the budgets of the City Council, and has defended a model based on protected rent and public ownership of housing.
Finally, he recalls that "Infernal" soils are processed urbanistically as finalist plots, but stresses that the definition of the protected housing model does not affect municipal competences in urban planning.
