Casas de Lázaro

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 1979. 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 5 wells and boreholes in Casas de Lázaro. Half of the 2 with a depth found water at 11–14 m. 73 springs are recorded.

Ground: 43% low permeability, local groundwater only; 24% karstic or fissured aquifer, high productivity; 18% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity; 12% porous aquifer, medium productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
