LaLiga Planning errors have been overcome

Issues with the Mahou-Calderon project proposal have been adjusted and the Madrid City Council have granted their approval on the development plans.

The president of the Community of Madrid, Cristina Cifuentes, stated that there was no attempt by the Council to sabotage Atletico Madrid's project, as corrections were needed in order to pass to the next stage.

"Madrid City Council repeatedly processed the errors and issues of the documents, which required the intervention of the Community of Madrid," she said.

"However, I insist that our action is linked to compliance with the law, as the file should meet the requirements and all errors should be corrected.

"Atletico Madrid can continue their activity without having to face any economic burdens that would cause a serious problem to the club."

In his part, the councilor of the Presidency and Justice and spokesman for the Regional Government of Madrid, Angel Garrido pointed out that an extra 146 files had to be added to the primary plan to proceed with the project.

"After the modification [of the documents] that has been made by request of the Madrid Community 146 more files [have been added]," he noted.

"[The document consisted of 386 records and now there are 532, which makes it clear that errors required a background correction."

The area around the Rojiblancos former stadium is set to be redeveloped, as the project aims to expand the green space, as well as construct two schools and a centre for minors.
