Declarations of Community Interest (DIC)
At Civiltrek Ingeniería we prepare the necessary technical documentation for the processing of Declarations of Community Interest (DIC), urban planning procedure that allows the implementation of certain activities on undeveloped land in accordance with the regulations of the Valencian Community.
Our technical team analyzes the feasibility of the project and drafts the technical report, plans and supporting documentation, demonstrating the interest of the activity and its compatibility with the environment and the current urban planning regulations.
The DIC is necessary to authorize certain industrial, tourist, agricultural or service activities on rural land, allowing its implementation through the corresponding administrative authorization.
In Civiltrek Ingeniería we advise our clients throughout the process, facilitating the processing of the file before the competent administration and ensuring that the documentation complies with the technical and urban planning requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a Statement of Community Interest (DCI) and when is it required?
It is an urban planning procedure that allows the authorization of certain uses or activities on undeveloped land, provided they are justified as having an interest that goes beyond the private sphere.
It is applied in cases where the intended use is not ordinarily permitted on that type of land, as may occur with certain industrial, tertiary, tourist or endowment activities in rural environments.
In the Marina Alta, where there is a large amount of undeveloped land, it is relatively common for projects that a priori seem viable to require a DIC in order to be legally developed.
What is meant by "community interest" and how is it justified?
It is not only a question of the project being economically viable, but also of demonstrating that it adds value to the environment: job creation, service to the population, integration into the territory or improvement of an existing activity.
This is one of the key points of the process, as the administration evaluates not only the technical project, but also its impact and justification from a broader point of view.
Why is it a complex process and what differentiates it from a conventional license?
Unlike a standard building permit, the DIC involves a longer and more demanding process, involving different agencies and requiring more complete documentation.
It includes technical studies, urban planning justifications, impact analyses and, in many cases, environmental assessments. In addition, the process may involve public exposure and review by different administrations.
All of this makes for longer lead times and makes it essential to get it right from the start.
What errors are common in this type of procedure?
One of the most common mistakes is to propose a project without first analyzing whether it is really viable through an ICD.
It is also common not to adequately justify the community interest or not to adapt the project to urban and territorial requirements, which can lead to rejection or significant delays.
Another common mistake is to underestimate the timing of the process, which directly affects the planning of the project or the investment.
What is the value of a good technical approach in a DIC?
It provides clarity, viability and greater probability of success. It is not just a matter of meeting requirements, but of focusing the project so that it fits within the criteria that the administration will evaluate.
A good approach makes it possible to anticipate conditioning factors, prepare the appropriate documentation and reduce uncertainty in a process that, by nature, is complex.
