Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to install a swimming pool in Alcocer de Planes, you have come to the right place. Living here in the heart of the El Comtat comarca, we understand that while our village is small—with a population of around 259 residents—the desire for a private Mediterranean oasis is significant. Whether your property is located in the peaceful Partida Tosal, near the historic Zona dels Castellans, or tucked away in Partida Felisa, the inland climate of Alicante requires a robust solution to beat the summer heat. Alcocer de Planes offers a stunning backdrop of olive groves and mountains, but the thermal contrast between the cold winters and scorching summers means your installation must be built to last. At TuExterior, we specialise in adapting to the specific terrain of areas like El Calvari and La Plana. Regarding investment, in Alcocer de Planes a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions, materials, and the complexity of the excavation in our local soil. My goal is to ensure your project integrates perfectly with the rural charm of our municipality while providing modern comfort.

Regulations and Permits in Alcocer de Planes

Navigating the legal requirements for a swimming pool in Alcocer de Planes is essential to avoid fines or future legal issues when selling your property. The primary regulatory framework is governed by the PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) of the Alcocer de Planes Town Hall. Because our village is located in a protected inland environment, the classification of your land (urban vs. rustic) significantly impacts what can be built.

For most standard residential pools, you will need to apply for a 'Licencia de Obra Mayor' (Major Works Licence) because it involves structural excavation and permanent modifications to the plot. This requires a technical project signed by an architect and approved by the College of Architects. If you are simply installing a removable pool or performing minor repairs to an existing basin, it might fall under 'Obra Menor' (Minor Works), which is a simpler and cheaper notification process. Additionally, for any sun protection or pool enclosures we install, we strictly adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which regulates the wind resistance and safety of external blinds and awnings. We also ensure that your pool's filtration and drainage systems comply with local environmental standards to protect the El Comtat groundwater levels. Our team assists in gathering the necessary documentation to ensure your project is 100% compliant with municipal bylaws.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does swimming pool cost in Alcocer de Planes?
The cost generally ranges between 8,000 € and 25,000 €. This variation depends on whether you choose a glass fibre (pre-moulded) shell or a reinforced concrete (gunite) construction. In Alcocer de Planes, the price also reflects the ease of access for heavy machinery to areas like La Plana or Partida Tosal. If the terrain is particularly rocky or if you opt for high-end features like salt-water chlorination and LED lighting, the price will lean toward the higher end of the spectrum.
Do I need a licence?
Yes, a licence is mandatory for any permanent swimming pool in Alcocer de Planes. For a traditional built-in pool, the Ayuntamiento requires a 'Licencia de Obra Mayor'. This process involves submitting a technical project and paying the municipal construction tax (ICIO). It is vital to have this in place before the first spade hits the ground, as the local authorities in El Comtat are diligent about aerial inspections and land use compliance.
How long does it take?
From the moment the permit is granted and we break ground, a standard concrete pool takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks to complete. However, the administrative phase—getting the project approved by the Alcocer de Planes Town Hall—can take anywhere from 1 to 3 months depending on their current workload. We recommend starting the planning process in autumn or winter so your pool is ready for the first heatwave in June.
Do you cover Alcocer de Planes?
Absolutely. We are highly active throughout the El Comtat region and specifically within Alcocer de Planes. We serve the main village centre as well as the surrounding rural outskirts including Zona dels Castellans, El Calvari, and the various 'Partidas'. Being local allows us to coordinate logistics and machinery transport much more efficiently than companies coming from the coastal cities.
What warranty do you provide?
We offer a comprehensive warranty that covers different aspects of the build. The structural integrity of the pool shell is typically covered for 10 years, ensuring against leaks or cracks. The filtration equipment, pumps, and salt systems come with a standard 2-year manufacturer’s warranty. Furthermore, our installation work is backed by our own TuExterior guarantee, ensuring that any issues arising from the craftsmanship are addressed promptly.
Can you install a pool on rustic land in Alcocer de Planes?
This is a common question for residents in the outskirts of the village. Installing a pool on 'suelo no urbanizable' (rustic land) is subject to much stricter rules than in the urban centre. It often depends on the size of the plot and whether there is an existing legal dwelling. We always perform a preliminary check with the local PGOU to see if a 'balsa' (irrigation-style pool) or a traditional swimming pool is permissible on your specific plot before you commit to any costs.
What maintenance is required for the inland climate?
The climate in Alcocer de Planes is different from the coast; we experience more dust from the surrounding agricultural fields and colder winter nights. We recommend installing a high-quality cover to protect the water during the 'tramuntana' winds and to prevent freezing issues in January. A salt-water system is often preferred by our clients here as it is gentler on the skin and easier to balance given the local water hardness in the El Comtat area.
