Miranda de Ebro

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: Plan General (a full town plan), from 2005. 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?

No well or borehole is recorded in Miranda de Ebro. That is not proof there is no water: ask local drillers. 3 springs are recorded.

Ground: 42% low permeability, local groundwater only; 27% porous aquifer, high productivity; 21% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity; 8.1% porous aquifer, medium productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
