Bioclimatic Pergolas in Planes

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are reading this, you likely enjoy the serene lifestyle of the El Comtat comarca, specifically here in Planes. With a population of roughly 695 residents, our village is a hidden gem of the Alicante inland, but as we all know, the climate here is distinct. Unlike the coastal humidity, our inland weather brings intense summer heat and crisp, biting winters. Whether you are living in the historic center near La Baronia, or in the quieter outskirts like Benialfaquí, Catamarruch, or Margarida, your outdoor space is a vital part of your home. Installing a bioclimatic pergola in Planes is the most effective way to reclaim your terrace from the elements. These structures allow you to regulate temperature naturally by adjusting motorized slats, providing shade during the August peaks and letting the sun warm your windows in January. In Planes a bioclimatic pergola typically runs 300-780 €/m² including local labour. From the elevated views of Canyeret to the traditional townhouses, we specialize in tailoring these aluminium structures to match the rustic charm of our mountain surroundings while providing modern comfort.

Regulations and Permits for Pergolas in Planes

Navigating the legalities of home improvements in the Valencian interior requires local knowledge. In Planes, the installation of a bioclimatic pergola is generally governed by the municipal PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana). Because these structures are considered "desmontable" (removable) and do not have fixed brick walls, they are usually classified under an "Actuación Comunicada" or "Obra Menor" (Minor Works) permit. This is a simpler process than a full building license, but it still requires a formal notification to the Ayuntamiento de Planes.

Furthermore, all our installations strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard. This European regulation ensures that solar protection systems, including the motorized louvers of our pergolas, meet specific safety and wind resistance criteria. If your property is located within the historic protection zone near the Almudaina tower or within the La Baronia district, there may be additional aesthetic restrictions regarding the colour of the aluminium or the height of the structure to preserve the village’s architectural heritage. We handle the technical documentation required to ensure your project is fully compliant with local bylaws.
