- The Xunta’s environmental authority ruled the PERI could have significant impacts, triggering an ordinary strategic environmental assessment.
- Heritage officials labeled the proposal very inappropriate and inviable, calling for stronger protection of the site’s hórreo and the elevated concrete water tank.
- The plan from the city and promoters envisioned demolishing several industrial buildings and constructing three residential blocks up to 12 stories with public spaces and parking.
- Following criticism from the Vigo council, the regional culture department said the technical heritage measures do not impede the housing component.
- Promoters must submit a detailed strategic study with noise, mapping, mobility and archaeological surveys for renewed municipal and regional review, extending timelines and mirroring setbacks seen at La Artística.
