Ciruelos de Cervera

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 4 wells and boreholes in Ciruelos de Cervera. Half of the 4 with a depth found water at 87–90 m. 4 springs are recorded.

Ground: 49% low permeability, local groundwater only; 27% karstic or fissured aquifer, high productivity; 16% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity; 7.4% porous aquifer, medium productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
