Loma de Ucieza

Can you build a house on rustic land?

Castilla y León allows a new house on rustic land only when a farm needs it. Otherwise it has to go in a village, or restore a building.

Ley 5/1999, art. 23.1.e. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Delimitación de Suelo Urbano (only marks the town's edge), from 2000. 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 4 wells and boreholes in Loma de Ucieza. Half of the 3 with a depth found water at 200–220 m.

Ground: 65% porous aquifer, high productivity; 20% low permeability, local groundwater only; 15% porous aquifer, medium productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
