Plans for a New Puerto Sherry which include 1,039 new berths, three hotels and a shopping centre were submitted to the judge in exchange for an end to the bankruptcy order .
Carmen Fornell the judge declared on Wednesday an end to the bankruptcy order which has marred the complex from since 1995 when it went into voluntary bankruptcy. The new plans
include the construction of a new dock with a capacity of more than 1,039 berths along with the 788 moorings that currently exist in the complex, a shopping mall, three new hotels and a convention hall for 500 people.
The complex which has had 13 years of legal battles and judicial misfortunes, now has been given the green light to finish the project thought to be the New Puerto Banus of Cadiz.
From March onwards the ambitious plan for the New Puerto Sherry can begin.
The new plan will include:
1,039 new berths with the construction of in a new dock running from the existing lighthouse to Emilio’s Bar in Pueblo Sherry. There will be 199 moorings for six meters long boats, eight moorings for 193m, 184m, 10m, 242m, twelve, moorings for boats of 185m, 15m, 16m 20m and 20 moorings for 25m boats . To date, the occupation of moorings is almost one hundred percent and there is a waiting list of 300 boats. Around this new dock there will be 618 car parking spaces, as well as a promenade that joins with the residential area of the Pueblo Sherry.
The new shopping mall of 4,500 square meters will have an underground parking for 15,000 square meters. The Yacht Club Hotel which now exists within the complex will be joined with another three new hotels , which is pending planning permission, will be one three star hotel, and two of four star hotels, along with a glazed conventions hall with the capacity for 500 people.
The end to the bankruptcy also opens the way for the construction of houses in Pueblo Sherry along with a new development on the La China which is prime land which lies between Pueblo Sherry and Fuertecuidad . This land was sold to the Noriega Group in 2005. Plans for 640 new homes will be submitted for approval along with the 380 new homes in Pueblo Sherry.
There is also the possibility of extending the beach La Muralla to join with the new dock which would double the actual size of the existing beach but this all depends on the coastal authorities giving their permission.
