Gavà processes the demolition of the abandoned Barnasud petrol station
Gavà has initially approved the project to remove the old Barnasud petrol station facilities. The planned investment is 43,319 euros including VAT, and the case provides for one month of public exhibition.
The cladding and finishes of the metal structure are deteriorated in a facility that has been closed for more than ten years. Illegal occupation of the property is also among the reasons for the intervention.
The Ayuntamiento de Gavà has given initial approval to the documentation for demolishing the various buildings of the former petrol station at the shopping centre. The project, drawn up by architect Llorenç Montori and reviewed by Metrópoli, cites the "perception of abandonment of the space and illegal occupation of the property" as the main reasons for the action.
What will be removed from the site
The plan includes demolishing the former shop, which is 134 square metres and 3.5 metres high, and the car wash tunnel, which covers 107 square metres and is also 3.5 metres high.
The payment booth will also be demolished and the pumps will be removed.
Closed for over a decade
Over the years, the space has been illegally occupied by homeless people seeking shelter. The intervention is a response to a longstanding demand from local residents and shopkeepers.
The planned investment amounts to 43,319 euros, VAT included. The file allows for a one-month public consultation period for objections before the process continues.
The former bowling alley also awaits a new chapter
The demolition is part of the council's intention to revitalise the area around the retail park, where other facilities have also been inactive for years. The plan for the former bowling alley is to create a new municipal sports centre.
