Answer
Who decides which coastal buildings in Mallorca should be protected?
The draft gives that decision to the island councils, so Mallorca would help shape the rules for its own coastline. That sounds practical, but it can also lead to uneven decisions if neighbouring areas apply different standards. In the end, that could create uncertainty for owners and local communities.
