NRA denial is not the end of the road. Many denials have viable solutions. The first step is to identify the exact cause.

Common causes

• Statutory prohibition of the tourist activity.
• Licence post-Law 1/2025 without community agreement.
• Lack of urban planning compatibility.
• Tourism Registry inscription not yet resolved.
• Standing not properly accredited.

Routes per cause

1. Statutory prohibition: meeting to amend deeds (unanimity).
2. No community agreement: meeting under Article 17.12 LPH (3/5 quorum).
3. Urban planning compatibility: City Council report.
4. Tourism Registry pending: wait for or request inscription resolution.
5. Standing: update operating-party status.

Remedies

The denial qualification is appealable directly to the DGSJyFP within one month. The line of doctrine has been clear in 2025-2026 and the success rate without remedy of the cause is low. The most effective route is usually to address the cause and resubmit.
