In 2016, 56% of building permission requests on rustic land in Majorca came from Majorcan residents. The Council of Majorca's figures show that in 2009, by contrast, 72% of requests were from residents. The difference is explained by requests from companies or foreign owners. And by and large, these are for properties to be made available as holiday rentals.

If they can get a licence !!!!
Great news as this employs builders and others boosts the rural economy rather than just the coasts and Palma. Then more the pity the focus on reducing tourism in Palma and politicians inability to provide a simple and effective solution to licensing rental properties will result in a fall in activity over the next few years.
