business license
Explanation:
The "Licencia de Actividades e Instalaciones" in Spain (also called "licencia de apertura" is basically equivalent to the business license required in most US states before opening a business establishment to the public. (A building permit is called "licencia de obras.")

Sea cual fuere la forma jurídica adoptada, hay que solicitar al Ayuntamiento o Junta Municipal correspondiente una licencia municipal de apertura (Licencia de Actividades e Instalaciones). Por ello, es aconsejable que antes de firmar cualquier contrato de alquiler o de compra, solicitar al Ayuntamiento una consulta sobre la viabilidad de desarrollar en ese local esa actividad. Si el local necesita reformas será necesaria, además, una Licencia de Obras.

Permit for construction activities / Activities permit


Explanation:
No sure, but found this:

If you are planning a construction project, you may need a permit for storm water discharges from your construction site. Construction activities include:

Clearing, grading, or excavation;
Road building;
Construction of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings;
Installing pipelines, cable lines, and phone lines; and
Demolition activities.
Any construction activity that disturbs one or more acres must have coverage under a storm water permit. Any sites that are part of a larger plan or sale may also need a permit, if the total plan meets the acreage requirement.

Construction permit?
Building permit?
