Lupiñén-Ortilla

Can you build a house on rustic land?

Aragón requires at least 1 ha for a new house on rustic land.

DL 1/2014, art. 34.2. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Plan General (a full town plan), from 2002. 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 23 wells and boreholes in Lupiñén-Ortilla. Half of the 21 with a depth found water at 5–12 m. 7 springs are recorded.

Ground: 49% practically impermeable; 38% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 10% porous aquifer, high productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
