Génave
Jaén · Andalucía · 64 km²
What rustic land in Génave allows and holds, for the municipality as a whole. For a particular plot, open it in the map: the report answers for that exact point.
Can you build a house on rustic land?
Andalucía requires at least 2.5 ha for a new house on rustic land.
Other cases: 5 ha on forest land.
Decreto 550/2022, art. 31. A town plan can be stricter.
Plan in force: Delimitación de Suelo Urbano (only marks the town's edge), from 1980. 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 7 wells and boreholes in Génave. Half of the 7 with a depth found water at 120 m. 8 springs are recorded.
Ground: 95% practically impermeable.
Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
