San Juan de la Encinilla

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.

No town plan: the region's general rules apply. 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 one well or borehole in San Juan de la Encinilla. Its depth: 75 m.

Ground: 83% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 16% porous aquifer, high productivity.
