Hinojosas de Calatrava

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: Delimitación de Suelo Urbano (only marks the town's edge), from 1989. 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 Hinojosas de Calatrava. Half of the 2 with a depth found water at 114–118 m.

Ground: 93% practically impermeable; 5.1% porous aquifer, high productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
