Santa María del Campo Rus

Can you build a house on rustic land?

Castilla-La Mancha requires at least 1.5 ha for a new house on rustic land.

Other cases: 3 ha on protected rustic land.

Orden 4/2020, art. 5. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Delimitación de Suelo Urbano (only marks the town's edge), from 2023. 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 12 wells and boreholes in Santa María del Campo Rus. Half of the 12 with a depth found water at 4–7 m.

Ground: 46% practically impermeable; 35% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 14% low permeability, local groundwater only; 5.3% porous aquifer, high productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
