Senigallia urban planning and environmental disputes

Overview

In Senigallia, local authorities have faced public opposition following the removal of pittosporum hedges along the Dante Alighieri seafront. The removal was part of a preliminary phase for a bicycle path redesign. Environmentalists and opposition members criticized the decision, calling for greater transparency regarding costs and maintenance, while Mayor Massimo Olivetti defended the action by citing dry plants and waste accumulation beneath the hedges.

Concurrently, the municipal government adopted a simplified 2026 variant to the General Regulatory Plan (PRG). This measure aims to increase urban planning flexibility by correcting cartographic inconsistencies, coordinating with higher-level provisions, and transforming certain buildable areas into agricultural land or non-buildable private green spaces. Urban Planning Councilor Elena Campagnolo stated the variant seeks to address emerging needs and facilitate the recovery of existing properties in alignment with the future ‘Senigallia 2045’ General Urban Plan.
