Overview
- The Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Madrid dismissed the appeals from the Madrid City Council and Real Madrid and confirmed the prior annulment of the concession.
- The decision affirms a judgment issued 18 months earlier by Madrid’s Administrative Court No. 30 that voided the municipal agreement authorizing two car parks by the stadium.
- Judges held the project failed to demonstrate conformity with the city’s urban plan and the applicable special plan or to justify a general public-interest purpose.
- The court flagged missing or inadequate studies, including environmental impact, a full transport analysis, and a tunnel safety review, with traffic modeling limited to a single peak hour and not mass events.
- The neighborhood association was recognized as having standing to sue, and the appellants were ordered to pay legal costs.
