Cabezarrubias del Puerto

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 1990. 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?

No well or borehole is recorded in Cabezarrubias del Puerto. That is not proof there is no water: ask local drillers.

Ground: 85% practically impermeable; 9.8% porous aquifer, medium productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
