Llanera

Can you build a house on rustic land?

Asturias allows a new house on rustic land only where the town plan provides for it.

DL 1/2004, art. 124. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Normas Subsidiarias (an older, simpler plan), from 2004. 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 32 wells and boreholes in Llanera. Half of the 28 with a depth found water at 62–255 m. 31 springs are recorded.

Ground: 46% practically impermeable; 18% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity; 14% low permeability, local groundwater only; 8.6% porous aquifer, high productivity; 8.1% karstic or fissured aquifer, high productivity; 5.4% porous aquifer, medium productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
