Belvís de la Jara

Can you build a house on rustic land?

Castilla-La Mancha requires at least 1.5 ha for a new house on rustic land.

Other cases: 3 ha on protected rustic land.

Orden 4/2020, art. 5. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Delimitación de Suelo Urbano (only marks the town's edge), from 1985. The region's planning viewer ↗

The national urban information system (SIU) maps the land class for 100% of the municipality.

Only the town hall can confirm it, in writing: ask for a certificado urbanístico.

Is there water?

IGME records 5 wells and boreholes in Belvís de la Jara. Half of the 5 with a depth found water at 75–100 m.

Ground: 77% low permeability, local groundwater only; 21% practically impermeable.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
