Public discussions 

Public Law Legal Flash I  Portugal 

May 21, 2018 

Relevant aspects 

The following procedures are under public

discussion: (i) revision of the National Program

for the Land Planning Policy, (ii) Portuguese

Maritime Spatial Plan and (iii) Report on the

State of Regional Planning of the Lisbon and

Tagus Valley Region. 

Undergoing public discussions: 

> National Program for the Land Planning

Policy: up until June 1S'h, 2018. 

 

 

> Portuguese Maritime Spatial Plan: up until

June 30'h, 2018. 

 

The public discussion periods play an important role

as they allow any interested party (public or private)

to present its comments and suggestions to the

relevant authorities, influencing the administrative

decision making process. 

> Report on the State of Regional Planning of

the Lisbon and Tagus Valley Region: up until

June 18'h, 2018. 

 

> Any interested party may submit its

comments, reclamations, suggestions or

requests for clarification. 

 

The participation in public discussions is a relevant

opportunity to defend legal rights and protected

interests and can be a useful tool for the strategic

plan of the affected entities. 

> The participation in any of the above

mentioned processes may be exercised

through the web portal Participa 

 

(www.participa.pt). 

> Upon the closure date of the public

discussion, the relevant authorities are legally

bound to consider all comments in the final

decision and provide reasoned response to

the contributors claiming the violation of

private rights or the breach of legal or

administrative rules.

National Program for the Land Planning Policy ("PNPOT") 

The PNPOT sets forth the strategic options for the organization of the national land, provides the

reference framework for the other land programs and plans and constitutes a cooperation instrument

with the other Member States for the organization of the European Union space (article 30 of the Legal

Framework for the Land Planning Instruments, "RJIGT", approved by Decree-Law no. 80/2015

of May 14'h). 

The effectiveness of the PNPOT over the remainder land programs and plans of lower level,

notably Municipal Master Plans, requires a particular attention to the strategic orientation set

out in the proposal subject to public discussion for two reasons: 

> 

 

The PNPOT points to a tendency of the national land management practices and

policies (mainland and islands), allowing to anticipate the public policies of the

Government and local authorities in a medium (2030) to long (2050) term horizon

and, to that extent, to anticipate strategies and business models. 

> The discrepancy of the strategic direction of PNPOT with some established

position (legally protected) of an interested party may substantiate a claim or a

request for clarification to be presented in the public discussion. In such case, the

relevant authority (i.e. the Government) may serve reasoned response to the

affected party. 

 

The public discussion period of the PNPOT revision runs from April 30'h,2018, to June 15'\

2018. All relevant documentation is available at www.participa.pt (Notice no. 4323-C/2018, of

March 28'h, as amended by Declaration no. 308-A/2018, of April 23'd). 

The Portuguese Maritime Spatial Plan 

The Portuguese Maritime Spatial Plan ("PSOEM") covers all the Portuguese maritime space, also

including the exclusive economic zone and the continental shelf, and represents the existing

and potential uses and activities (cf. article 9, paragraphs 1 and 2, of the Legal Framework for

the Maritime Space Planning and Management, approved by Decree-Law no. 38/2015, of March

12'h). 

In this context, participating in the public discussion of the PSOEM project may be especially

relevant for operators who develop or intend to develop some kind of activity in the national

maritime space (eg. aquaculture, installation of cables and submarine pipelines, exploitation of

marine mineral resources, etc.), notably with a view to: 

> Ensure that the rights granted to them by title of use of maritime space are fully

identified and guaranteed in the PSOEM.

> Ensure that the PSOEM allows and/ or enhances the development of a specific

activity at a particular place in the maritime space. 

 

The public discussion period of the PSOEM project runs from April 30'h, 2018, to June 30'h,

2018. All relevant documentation is available at www.participa.pt (Notice no. 6013/2018, of

May B"). The project under discussion does not include the zone of the national maritime space

adjacent to Madeira and Azores. 

Report on the State of Regional Planning of the Lisbon and

Tagus Valley Region 

The land status reports "reflect the assessment of the implementation of the land programs and plans

under evaluation, as well as the levels of internal and external coordination achieved, substantiating a

possible need for revision" (article 189, paragraph 4 of the RJIGT) and their preparation is required

for the revision of the corresponding land programs and plans (cf. article 189, paragraph 6, of

the RJIGT). 

The participation in the public discussion of the Report on the State of Regional Planning of the

Lisbon and Tagus Valley Region ("REOT") is an interesting opportunity to convey to the relevant

authorities any important elements/information that may influence the future revision

processes of the Regional Plans. 

The public discussion period of the REOT project runs from May T", 2018 to June lS'h, 2018. All

relevant documentation is available at www.participa.pt (Notice no. 4860/2018, of April 12'h).
