Fuentearmegil

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.

Plan in force: Delimitación de Suelo Urbano (only marks the town's edge), from 1985. 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 2 wells and boreholes in Fuentearmegil. Half of the 2 with a depth found water at 250 m. 3 springs are recorded.

Ground: 91% low permeability, local groundwater only.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.

What to watch for

• No mapped fire since 2016.
