Rubble Trouble
As the demolition of the Cretu-mansion reached an end, environmental technicians
from the Island Council were maintaining rubble had been buried in the ground
and not taken to the tip as stated in the contract.
The claims were made by Island Councillor for the Environment, Albert Prats,
who said that following complaints, he had sent two experts to the site
to verify the claims.
He declared the council would need to wait for further checks to be made,
but to the natural eye it was clear something had been buried underground.
He continued that he had spoken to the Town Hall, who had promised
it would be making further checks this week.
The deputy mayor, Joan Pantaleoni, said that the contract with the company
responsible for the demolition, Erri Berri, was clear and if it turned out rubble
had been buried in the ground, it would have to be dug up and disposed of properly.

As the demolition of the Cretu mansion continued unabated,
the Town Hall of San Jose announced it would soon be releasing details
of what is set to be the next high profile demolition on the island.
The house in question is located at the summit of Puig d'en Serra,
and was constructed in the mid 1990s after, again, receiving permission
from the Town Hall.
Unfortunately for the current owners of the property,
the similarities with the Cretu-case are striking,
which is likely to ensure both end up with the same fate.
Puig d'en Serra is the second highest point on the island,
measuring 436 metres, 39m less than sa Talaia.
This was just one of the reasons the area was declared a protected zone in 1991
by legislation, (LEN).
However, despite this the Town Hall granted permission for a 330 m2 house
to be built there just one year later.
The license was granted despite the fact technicians from the same Town Hall
gave the project the thumbs down, as well as the Town Hall's secretary
and the Island Council.
For these reasons it came as a shock to most when the mayor at the time,
Jose Serra Escandell, issued Philippe Rossier with a permit to build the property.
The environmentalist group, GEN, denounced the house in 1996,
but their pleas fell on deaf ears within the Town Hall.
However, when socialist Pilar Costa took over at the Island Council in 1999
she ensured the case at least made it to court, claiming the license
should never have been awarded in the first place.
This lead to a decision by a court in Palma in 2004 which declared the building illegal
and demanded it was demolished.
By this time, however, Costa had been ousted from the Island Council,
whilst Serra Escandell was still mayor of the municipal.
The court order remained inactive until Escandell, not surprisingly, lost the 2007
elections and was replaced by the leader of the PSOE party, (Socialists),
Josep Mari Ribas Agustinet.
He immediately announced action would be taken, and the house,
which is now owned by a company based in Luxemburg, would be torn down.
Naturally the company is fighting for the court order to be overturned,
and if the bulldozers do eventually move in, like its neighbouring municipal,
the Town Hall would face a lawsuit for damages in the region of €3 million,
the price the owner's legal team have put on the property.
However, undeterred by such threats the councillor for town planning
in San Jose, Josep Antoni Prats, announced last week that he would be pressing ahead
with the order, with this week seeing the opening of the tender process to knock down
the property.
Prats revealed it would cost in the region of €140,000,
all of which would be passed on to the owners of the property ...

Damages Claim
The lawyer representing Michel Cretu has officially presented a private claim
against the Town Hall of San Antonio for damages worth in excess of €20 million.
Jaume Roig said the amount was a result of the valuation of the Romanian
music producer's mansion, which was demolished earlier this year,
as well as the legal costs to date.
He revealed that if the Town Hall were unwilling to accept the claim
his client would take the matter to court.
Roig continued that loss of earnings had not been included,
but warned if the Town Hall denied responsibility he would be including them.
He said these would be easy to work out from Cretu's tax returns.
He revealed the music producer had paid close to €1.4 million of tax in 2000,
whilst last year the total was zero as he did not earn anything
due to the stress of being, firstly, evicted from his home,
and then seeing it demolished.
Several days later the Town Hall claimed the amount being claimed
was exaggerated.
Deputy mayor Joan Pantaleoni said the figure should be based on the original estimate
which had been written into the project plans - €2 million.
He said that this would be a good starting figure, but that the Town Hall
would also have to deduct the fine which is to be handed to Cretu
for building three times more than the official license.

I agree. It must also be embarrising for both the local population and the autonomous government of the Island.

Not seen this before. It was a lovely house & pragmatism hits principle right between the eyes.
Assuming that corruption has not come into play here & it is all related to that, I think planners have to uphold the laws. If he knew he was breaking the law when he did it, then it has to go.

Michael Cretu
The Rumanian musician, whose illegally built house in Santa Inés was reduced
to rubble recently, could face a fine of up to €2.5 million for having built
four times more floor area than applied for in the original plans.
He was given planning permission for 1,495 cubic metres,
but the building he tried to legalize measured 6,892 cubic metres.
The house was also built higher on the hillside than on the original plan,
which was the reason for it being demolished.
So it looks as though instead of being paid compensation,
he may have to pay a hefty fine.
