Swimming Pools in Borriol

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to install a swimming pool in Borriol, you have come to the right place. Nestled in the heart of the La Plana Alta comarca, Borriol offers a unique inland climate that balances Mediterranean warmth with the rugged beauty of the mountains. With a population of approximately 5,945 residents, this town is a perfect escape for those living in urbanisations like L'Abeller, the prestigious La Coma, or the tranquil Mas de Gaeta. Whether you are settled in Vall d'Umbrí or the Benadresa area, we understand that a private pool is more than a luxury; it is a necessity for those hot summer months away from the coastal breeze. At TuExterior, we specialise in tailoring outdoor spaces to the specific topography of the region. Regarding budget, in Borriol a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the materials and access to your plot. My goal is to ensure your project integrates seamlessly with the local landscape and meets your expectations.

Regulations and Permits in Borriol

Navigating the legal landscape for a swimming pool in Borriol requires an understanding of both national standards and local municipal ordinances. At the national level, we ensure that any accessory installations, such as pool covers or shading systems, comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard for performance and safety. However, the most critical aspect for any homeowner is the local PGOU (Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) and the specific municipal ordinances of the Borriol Town Hall.

Currently, the town is governed by the Normas Subsidiarias (Subsidiary Rules) dating back to 1996. It is important to note that there have been recent modifications and updates to these rules to regularize "núcleos diseminados" (scattered settlements) under the LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje). This is particularly relevant if your property is located in rural or semi-rural zones outside the main town centre.

For a standard swimming pool, you will generally need to apply for an "Obra Mayor" (Major Works) licence, as it involves structural excavation and permanent changes to the plot. This requires a technical project signed by an architect or engineer and approved by the College of Architects. If you are simply renovating an existing pool or performing minor repairs, an "Obra Menor" (Minor Works) permit may suffice. We handle the technical documentation required to ensure your project aligns with the current legal framework of La Plana Alta, avoiding potential fines or demolition orders.
