Swimming Pools in Balones

Hola, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to install a swimming pool in Balones, you have come to the right place. Living here in the heart of the El Comtat comarca offers a unique tranquility that few places in Alicante can match. With a small, tight-knit population of approximately 131 residents, Balones is a gem nestled between the mountains, but our inland climate means summers can be exceptionally hot and dry. Whether your property is located near the historic El Castillo area, within the traditional village core, or around the scenic Llometa de la Creu and La Creueta surroundings, a private pool isn't just a luxury—it’s a necessity for enjoying the Mediterranean lifestyle. We understand the specific terrain of the Sella valley and the logistical needs of local homes. To give you an initial idea of investment, in Balones a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the size, materials, and accessibility of your plot. My goal is to ensure your outdoor space becomes your favourite part of the home.

Regulations and Permits in Balones

Navigating the legalities of construction in a small municipality like Balones requires local knowledge. All our installations comply with the Spanish and European safety standards, specifically UNE-EN 13561 regarding structural integrity and safety for outdoor installations, alongside the specific requirements for water treatment and recirculation.

In Balones, the local urban planning regulations (PGOU) and municipal ordinances dictate where and how a pool can be built. For most residential pools, you will need to apply for a "Licencia de Obra." If you are installing a prefabricated shell or performing minor renovations, it might be classified as an "Obra Menor" (Minor Work), which has a faster approval process and lower fees. However, for a full inground concrete pool (gunite), a "Licencia de Obra Mayor" is usually required, necessitating a technical project signed by an architect. This ensures the pool respects boundary distances from neighbours and does not interfere with protected rural land or local heritage sites like the ruins of the Sella castle area. At TuExterior, we assist you in gathering the necessary documentation to present to the Ayuntamiento de Balones to ensure your project is 100% legal.
