Common problem

I've been asked for the alineaciones y rasantes of a parcel

Aligned facades following the street level of a Canarian street

The short answer

The alineaciones y rasantes define the position and level that condition the future building in relation to the public road: the alineación is the building line and the rasante is the official reference level. When the file requires it, they are officially issued by the town hall; our part is the technical and topographic documentation: the precise survey of the parcel and the road, the plans and the preparation of the application.

Possible causes

  • 01New building projects that must respect the official building line.
  • 02Licence procedures requiring the alineaciones y rasantes.
  • 03Parcels bordering the public road without a clear definition of their position relative to it.
  • 04Doubts about the level at which to build.

What needs checking

  • Topographic survey of the parcel and its surroundings in relation to the road.
  • Existing municipal documentation on previous building lines.
  • Levels of the road and the land to define the rasante.
  • The municipal procedure applicable to the case.

Which professionals are involved

The topographic survey and the technical documentation are our work. The official certification of alineaciones y rasantes, when the procedure requires it, is issued by the town hall.
