Madrid High Court Upholds Bernabéu Parking Nullification After City and Real Madrid Appeals

The ruling centers on unlawful changes made after the public consultation that denied citizens a fresh hearing.

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.
