Spain’s Supreme Court admits El Prat appeal over gaming venue planning restrictions
Spain’s Supreme Court admitted El Prat de Llobregat’s appeal against a Catalan court ruling that annulled the municipality’s planning restrictions on new gaming venues. The court will consider whether local authorities can set distances, exclusion zones or site conditions for betting shops, a question that could guide cases elsewhere in Spain.
The Supreme Court’s ruling could clarify municipalities’ powers to restrict gaming venue locations across Spain.
