many of the existing companies would be forced to close down

The businesses located on the various industrial estates in Marbella have formed an action group to demand changes to the draft local development plan (PGOU). They claim that if the document is approved as currently formulated it would bring ruin to the industrial zones of the town.The businesses say the new document does not allow for any new industrial zones and that the existing estates of La Ermita, Las Albarizas, Costasol and Incomar would have to create green zones, meaning many of the existing companies would be forced to close down to make way for them. The businesses remaining would be forced to pay compensation to those that had to demolish their units and move out, they say.
