Bretocino

Can you build a house on rustic land?

Castilla y León allows a new house on rustic land only when a farm needs it. Otherwise it has to go in a village, or restore a building.

Ley 5/1999, art. 23.1.e. A town plan can be stricter.

No town plan: the region's general rules apply. The region's planning viewer ↗

The SIU does not map land classes here: the town plan is the source.

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

Is there water?

IGME records 7 wells and boreholes in Bretocino. Half of the 7 with a depth found water at 5 m.

Ground: 38% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 32% porous aquifer, high productivity; 25% practically impermeable; 5.9% low permeability, local groundwater only.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
