Llombai

Can you build a house on rustic land?

The Valencian Community requires at least 1 ha for a new house on rustic land.

DL 1/2021, art. 211. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Normas Subsidiarias (an older, simpler plan), from 1982. 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 25 wells and boreholes in Llombai. Half of the 24 with a depth found water at 8–213 m. 2 springs are recorded.

Ground: 34% karstic or fissured aquifer, high productivity; 23% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity; 18% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 15% low permeability, local groundwater only; 7% practically impermeable.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
