Murcia high court annuls Lorca gambling venue distance rules
The High Court of Justice of Murcia annulled Lorca’s 2023 planning change setting stricter location rules for gambling venues, bingo halls and betting shops. The court said the municipality had not adequately justified the restrictions, which included 500-metre buffers from specified facilities and 1,000 metres from other gambling premises.
The ruling removes Lorca’s additional location restrictions on gambling venues and related premises.
