Navia de Suarna

Can you build a house on rustic land?

Galicia 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 2/2016, arts. 35 y 39. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Plan General (a full town plan), from 2024. The region's planning viewer ↗

The national urban information system (SIU) maps the land class for 0.7% 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 Navia de Suarna. That is not proof there is no water: ask local drillers.

Ground: 98% practically impermeable.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
