Overview
- The Dipartimento per il Sud of the Presidency of the Council revoked the Autorizzazione unica ZES that had approved the Tavolara Bay glamping project, a move announced after the town council of Loiri Porto San Paolo rescinded the November 25, 2025 reclassification that had enabled the proposal.
- The municipal council’s autotutela revocation removed the local urban‑planning basis (change from Zona H to Zona F2) that the central permit relied on, and officials in Rome said that reversal prompted the government withdrawal.
- Hundreds of citizens, environmental groups and online petitioners protested at Cala Finanza in late June and their mobilization helped focus political pressure on local and regional institutions in the days before the revocation.
- Tavolara Bay srl, linked to Jhsf Capital, said it is deeply dismayed and is preparing legal steps with its lawyers, while the Regione Sardegna has an existing appeal to the regional administrative court with a precautionary hearing set for July 8.
- The case raises a broader question about how ZES fast‑track rules interact with municipal and regional planning powers and could influence future disputes over national investment authorizations near protected areas such as the Tavolara Punta Coda Cavallo marine reserve.
