1. INTERPRISE PROJECT, PREVIOUS STUDY (October 2003)
The PDM in force in October 2003 authorized that the construction index for the property (Quinta do Relógio, Paço de Arcos) was 0.48 m2 / m2, resulting in a total covered area of 3,432 m2.
This surface is the sum of the covered surface, already built, plus the one that can be built.
0.48 x 5,500 m2 (+/-) = 2,640 m2
+ 30% of 2,640 m2 = 792 m2 (this addition of 30% is expected if the property is intended for tourist use)
As a result, as mentioned above, a total covered area of 3,432 m2
Thus, 3,432 m2 - 1,709 m2 already built = 1,723 m2 to be built.
However, taking into account that there is a new PDM (dated 2015) and that this Preliminary Study dates from 2003, the PDM may have been subject to some change and these data will necessarily have to be verified and confirmed.
