Palma Town Hall has given its initial approval for the establishment of a new low-cost petrol station on one of Palma's main and very important streets to be managed by Petropix Energia S.L.. This decision marks a significant move towards diversifying retail fuel options in a high-traffic area of Palma such as Calle Aragon.
According to municipal sources, the project has cleared key administrative hurdles after Petropix Energia S.L. submitted outstanding documentation that had been pending for years. Technical, legal, and mobility reports have all been reviewed, with respective departments issuing favourable opinions to proceed with development. The approval of the detail study represents the mandatory step prior to obtaining construction and activity permits, integral to the legal process in Spain for launching fuel retail outlets.
Access and Traffic Requirements Imposed
While reports generally support the initiative, the mobility assessment comes attached with specific conditions: "Access for customer vehicles and delivery tankers cannot be established directly off Calle Aragon." This requirement aims to preserve traffic flow and minimise potential hazards adjacent to one of Palma's busiest corridors.
The council underscores that the on-street parking area currently in use may only serve the station if a new private access is authorised and suitably altered for the petrol station's operation. Presently, the existing permit covers a different retail business. By requiring a dedicated entrance and operational modifications, local authorities intend to avert risks in a densely transited urban space.
