Swimming Pools in Cotes

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to build a swimming pool in Cotes, you have come to the right place. Living in this beautiful corner of La Ribera Alta, with its small but welcoming population of around 314 residents, offers a unique quality of life, but the inland climate can be particularly intense during the summer months. Whether your property is located near the Clot del Negre, along the Barranc de la Conca, or within the productive lands of the Partida de Cotes, a private pool is not just a luxury; it is a necessity for cooling off when the Mediterranean heat settles over the valley. At TuExterior, we specialise in transforming outdoor spaces into private oases. We understand the local terrain, from the areas near Barranc de la Nava to the higher elevations of El Montot. Regarding investment, in Cotes a swimming pool typically runs 8000-25000 € including local labour, depending on the dimensions and materials chosen. My goal is to guide you through every technical and aesthetic decision to ensure your project integrates perfectly with the Valencian landscape.

Regulations and permits in Cotes

Navigating the legal requirements for a swimming pool in Cotes requires a clear understanding of both regional and local legislation. All our installations, especially those involving retractable covers or shading structures, adhere to the UNE-EN 13561 standard to ensure structural safety and wind resistance.

In terms of urban planning, the project must comply with the Cotes General Urban Planning Plan (PGOU) and the municipal ordinances. In Cotes, most pool constructions are classified as an 'Obra Mayor' (Major Work) because they involve structural excavation and permanent changes to the land, requiring a formal building licence from the Ayuntamiento.

Furthermore, as Cotes is situated within the Valencian Community, we are governed by the LOTUP (Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje). This is particularly crucial for residents with properties on 'suelo no urbanizable' (rural land). Under the LOTUP, building any structure, including a swimming pool, on rural land requires strict adherence to the 'vivienda aislada' regulations, which generally stipulate a minimum plot size of 10,000m2. We handle the technical documentation required to prove your project meets these setbacks and occupancy limits, ensuring your pool is 100% legal and registered.
