Swimming Pools in Planes

Hola, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to install a swimming pool in Planes, you have come to the right place. Living here in the heart of the El Comtat comarca, we understand that the inland climate of Alicante brings scorching summers where a private oasis isn't just a luxury—it is a necessity for quality of life. Whether your property is nestled in the historic village centre near the castle or located in one of the tranquil surrounding areas like Benialfaquí, Catamarruch, Margarida, or the rural stretches of La Baronia and Canyeret, we provide tailored solutions for every terrain. With a local population of approximately 695 residents, Planes offers a peaceful Mediterranean lifestyle that is perfectly complemented by a well-designed outdoor space. In Planes a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions and the technical challenges of the plot. My role is to ensure that your project integrates seamlessly with the rugged beauty of our cherry-growing valley while meeting all technical standards.

Regulations and Permits in Planes

Navigating the legal landscape for a swimming pool in Planes requires a clear understanding of both national safety standards and local municipal ordinances. At TuExterior, we ensure that every installation adheres to the UNE-EN 13561 standard for outdoor structures and solar protection, as well as the specific safety requirements for residential pools regarding filtration and water recirculation.

From a municipal perspective, the Planes Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) governs all construction through its Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (PGOU). The type of permit required depends largely on the scope of the work. For prefabricated shells or minor surface modifications, we may only need to process an 'Obra Menor' (Minor Work) notification. However, for traditional in-ground reinforced concrete pools or projects involving significant structural changes to the land, a 'Licencia de Obra Mayor' (Major Work Licence) is mandatory. This process involves submitting a technical project signed by a qualified architect or engineer. We assist our clients in preparing this documentation to ensure that your pool respects the setbacks from neighbouring boundaries and the environmental protections inherent to the El Comtat region. Failing to secure these permits can lead to significant fines or even demolition orders, so we prioritise legal compliance from day one.
