A new golf courseThe City of Las Rozas has submitted a project to build a golf course. The new facility would be located on a public oaks, north of town, on land protected by the General Plan in effect. The construction of the golf course would require the removal of 149 oak trees. Ecologists in Action has asked the Ministry of Environment to issue negative impact statement, considering it incompatible with the conservation of natural values ​​of the oak with the practice of golf.

The City of Las Rozas has several oaks located between urban. In the current general plan, these forests are called “captive” and are considered for their high ecological value should be part of the municipal public property and managed as a continuum of natural areas. This is the case of an oak grove of 60 hectares (ha) north of the town, between urbanization Club of Golf, north, and the scree to the south. However, this oak the Consistory intends to build a golf course, which is incompatible with the conservation of natural values.

The rationale, according to the City Council to transform the forest land is “make a great collective green with golf courses . ” But the oaks and a public green area. The land is owned by the City and are currently used by the residents of Las Rozas for walking, cycling and horse riding. The current General Plan to preserve these areas of the development of General Systems qualifies as Open Space and Green Areas and in addition, 24 hectares are considered as a natural area (a range of protection provided by the municipal planning from the Casino). For these reasons the activities and uses in these areas are very limited and targeted, especially regeneration. However, the construction of the golf course , as stated in the Environmental Impact Study submitted by the City involves the removal of 149 oak trees, in a place where the oak is evident in a state of regeneration.

This oak I placed a very rugged topography with steep slopes, especially in the west, near the Moulin de la Hoz urbanization. In the area run two streams, the most important is the stream of Cerro del Colmenar. These features grant to place a high quality landscape. In the east, in the nineties was conditioned area as an urban park. This walks were built, and installed streetlights and other street furniture. However, the lack of attention and maintenance by the City Council has fallen into neglect this area. With the excuse to refurbish the park, the session proposes the construction of a golf course.

At the moment there is no water to irrigate the new field of golf . The Environmental Impact Study indicates that the facility will be irrigated in the future, with water from the sewage West Las Rozas not yet built. Therefore, to raise the current irrigation using well water. In the view of Ecologists in Action, this alternative is unacceptable, groundwater is used for irrigation comes from detrital aquifer in Madrid. The most important water reservoir in the region and on the Tagus River Basin has warned of the problems of reduction and pollution levels caused by chemicals like those used in the fields of golf (fertilizers, herbicides, etc).

For these reasons, Ecologists in Action, has asked the Ministry of Environment to dismiss the project and emits negative impact statement. It is unacceptable that the practice of golf is at the expense of the loss of public spaces and woodland. The oak on which it intends to build the field of golf in Las Rozas holds important natural values ​​whose conservation is incompatible with the practice of golf.
