The Loro Parque group is claiming some 122.3 million euros from the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council as patrimonial liability for economic damages caused by the delay in granting the planning license to carry out the construction works of the Siam Park in El Veril. Of this amount, 30.3 million correspond to emerging damage, another 89.9 million to lost profits , and 1.9 million are claimed as loss of opportunity.

The consequential damage includes the expenses assumed such as the purchase of the land, the expenses for drafting the El Veril Modernization Plan, the canalization works of the ravine, and the amounts for the loss of regional incentives and for the endowments that the company made to Charge the Investment Reserve. And to calculate the lost profit, which is 77.7 million for the park and 12.1 million for the hotel, the income that would have been obtained from the operation of these businesses from its opening in 2018 to 2023 is estimated.

The company expected to start the works in July 2016, once the Canarian Government had approved in December 2015 the Modernization, Improvement and Increased Competitiveness Plan in the area of ​​El Veril to precisely guarantee the preferential and urgent processing of these investments in all their procedures before any administration.

In recent months the government did not approve plans for the waterpark because it "did not leave evidence of the existence of water resources". Since then Ángel Víctor Torres, the president of the Canary Islands, voiced his support for the waterpark project saying that he hopes the government can give the necessary approval as soon as possible. Getting this waterpark approved has had a lot of ups and downs over the years but it seems we might be getting closer to breaking ground...

Paraphrased from Spanish:

It should be remembered that this Thursday, March 31, the Government Board of San Bartolomé de Tirajana approved the initial proposal for the establishment of the private execution system by concert, proposal for an urban planning agreement for concerted management and urbanization project for the urbanizable land sector of the El Veril site for the installation of the Siam Park water park.

This is a very important step, as announced by the southern town hall, on the way to granting the definitive building permit. With this document, what is initially approved are three fundamental points. On the one hand, to agree on the establishment of the Private Execution System by Concert of the El Veril Building Land Sector; second, the Concerted Management Agreement and its annexes, submitting it to the public information process for one month; and, finally, the Urbanization Project for the material execution of the determinations of the planning approved for said Sector, which will be divided mainly into three plots: one for the park, another for the
hotel and a third of municipal domain destined for green areas mainly.
