Corner General Riera/Antoni Marquès: Dispute over new residential block and protected façade

Answer

How does a new building in Palma affect light and privacy for nearby homes?

In dense parts of Palma, a new residential building can reduce daylight in inner courtyards and affect privacy for nearby residents. That is why shadow studies and light impact checks matter before construction begins. Neighbours also tend to worry about added traffic, parking pressure and noise during the works.
