Construir em Albufeira: perguntas frequentes

Posso construir em terreno rústico em Albufeira?

Cerca de 91% das parcelas classificadas na carta de uso do solo (CRUS) de Albufeira estão em Solo Rústico. Em regra geral, o PDM restringe a edificação em solo rústico; a viabilidade depende da categoria de solo e das condicionantes aplicáveis. A resposta definitiva depende sempre da parcela concreta e do regulamento em vigor.

O que diz o PDM

Classificação da áreaMunicipality land uses/spaces are classified by dominant land use, including: natural resources and environmental balance; urban spaces; urbanizable spaces; collective equipment and support infrastructures; and extractive industry. Rural framing zone is designated as reserve/potential for outdoor equipment supporting the municipality’s economic and social activity.
Pontos-chave
  • Permitted uses municipality-wide by zone type include: housing, tourist units, and commerce.
  • In mixed-occupancy zones, tourist and residential uses coexist with commerce and services.
  • In interstitial spaces integrated into the ZM (per planning map), the uses listed in Article 28(1) are allowed except industry.
  • Rural framing zone allows only installations supporting public or private outdoor equipment for the municipality’s economic and social activity; rural areas are treated as reserve/potential for future public/private outdoor equipment.
  • Multiple environmental and technical constraint regimes apply across the territory (e.g., REN; RAN; ARPSI flood-risk areas; water-domain and groundwater intake protection perimeters), overriding/conditioning land use according to their legal regimes.
Planos futuros
  • PDM review/changes are possible under the legal framework (DL 69/90, art. 19), including amendments for sizing/location adjustments and to enable investments creating jobs or public interest.
  • Any new extraction units (mineral resources/quarries) require authorization via an amendment to the Plan.
  • Road-protection-related and railway-activity exceptions require a favorable opinion from CP (rail operator) for relevant constructions/activities.
NotasGeneral dimensional/technical frameworks referenced include: road protection strips (20 m each side of roads; 40 m for industrial installations, with stated exceptions), power-line minimum setback distances (3 m up to 60 kV; 4 m above 60 kV; +1 m if terrace roofs are present), and cadastral geodetic marker protection zones (minimum 15 m radius) with prior authorization required for works near markers. Groundwater intake protection perimeters: 50 m near protection and 500 m distance protection. Parking-specific regulation was not provided in the summary.

For parcels over 1000 m², the maximum soil allocation coefficient is 0,3 and the maximum gross floor ratio (COS) is 0,6; higher indices may be accepted in limited circumstances. Caves are allowed only for parking or condominium storage under strict conditions. - permitted use: offices - permitted use: public or private services - permitted use: Class D industry - permitted use: equipment - (Cotovio zone) permitted use: public housing only - building use predominance (new buildings): residential floor area - maximum building height: dominant building height of the block - (infill in consolidated block up to 1000 m²) maximum building height: dominant height of the existing buildings in the block - (infill in consolidated block up to 1000 m²) maximum depth of construction: 15 m - (infill in consolidated block up to 1000 m²) parking: 1 car/fogo - (infill in consolidated block up to 1000 m²) parking: 1 car/50 m² - (parcels over 1000 m²) maximum soil allocation coefficient (CAS): 0,3 - (parcels over 1000 m²) maximum gross construction index (COS): 0,6 - (parcels over 1000 m²) higher indices: may be accepted - (caves) permitted use: parking only - (caves) permitted use: condominium storage only Article 28 (Urban Zone (ZU)): This is the urban-zone article.
