Permit procedure for Protected Natural Areas.
Please also take into account the protection and recovery plans for certain listed species. These areas can be consulted via the IdeAragón map viewer. Some locations may fall within the scope of these plans even if they are not part of Natura 2000 or a protected natural area, and certain activities within these areas may require authorisation.
We understand that permits for these types of locations often require specialised guidance. For this reason, our office can provide advice, as well as support and coordination throughout the permit application process.
