Cuestiones específicas de la ejecución de sentencias urbanísticas que inciden en la protección del medio ambiente. Especial referencia al principio de no regresión del suelo verde urbano
Abstract
Judicial review of urban development law has repercussions for environmental protection. Urban green areas are part of the environment and must be protected. The Supreme Court has limited urban development through the principle of nonregression of these urban green areas. Legal controversies surrounding the enforcement of urban development rulings with considerable environmental impact are analyzed. The analysis includes the public urban planning actions taken, the termination of the enforcement phase and the recently suspended enforcement of Coastal Law rulings. The environmental dimension complicates the enforcement phase due to the difficulty, the duration or the possible risk of environmental damage during restoration. Enforcement must take into account these particular features without compromising compliance with the ruling.
