Sentencia del Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Castilla y León, de 20 de octubre de 2023 (Sala de lo Contencioso-Administrativo, Sección 1, Ponente: Eusebio Revilla Revilla).

The High Court of Justice of Castilla y León has denied an urban and environmental license for the construction of a cattle shed in San Juan del Olmo, Ávila. The City Council of San Juan del Olmo appealed the ruling of the Administrative Court No. 1 of Ávila, but the Court rejected their arguments. The denial of the licenses is due to concerns about the quality of water for human consumption, but the city council did not provide evidence justifying the risks and environmental impacts of the activity. In addition, the minimum distances established by regulations for livestock farms in relation to the urban area are met, and there is no regulation establishing a minimum distance between a livestock farm and a water deposit.
