Landmark Court Decision Vindicates Bellavista Residents Well, take a long look at the photograph because very soon the path linking the walkway between Aguamarina and Cabo Roig will once again be ‘bricked up’. Despite being pulled down a little over 18 months ago, in March 2015, having been declared illegal in two judgements, by both the Administrative Court in Elche and the High Court of Justice, the residents of Bellavista 1, through who’s urbanisation the pathway runs, were adamant that the findings were completely wrong. Community President Brian Hoeness explained that the original walkway was actually located at the bottom of the cliff face and not along the top of the urbanisation as stated by Antonio Zapata, the Orihuela
Town Council Planning Officer at the time. Indeed the Leader, which had access to the Appeal Court Decision, issued on 30 September, by Judge Mr Salvador Bellmont Lorente, can confirm that the Owners Association were able to
demonstrate to the courts that the walkway directly along the seawall and in front of the urbanisation has always been
private land, and they were completely within their rights to section it off from access to the general public.
