Can you build a house on rustic land?
Extremadura requires at least 1.5 ha for a new house on rustic land.
Ley 11/2018, art. 70. A town plan can be stricter.
Plan in force: Normas Subsidiarias (an older, simpler plan), from 1997. 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 3 wells and boreholes in Hervás. Half of the 3 with a depth found water at 6 m. One spring is recorded.
Ground: 93% practically impermeable; 6.8% porous aquifer, medium productivity.
Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
