Chiloeches

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: Plan General (a full town plan), from 2002. 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 7 wells and boreholes in Chiloeches. Half of the 7 with a depth found water at 14–60 m. 9 springs are recorded.

Ground: 79% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 12% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity; 5.3% porous aquifer, high productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
