Torres Torres

Can you build a house on rustic land?

The Valencian Community requires at least 1 ha for a new house on rustic land.

DL 1/2021, art. 211. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Normas Subsidiarias (an older, simpler plan), from 1987. 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 3 wells and boreholes in Torres Torres. Half of the 2 with a depth found water at 140–200 m. One spring is recorded.

Ground: 33% low permeability, local groundwater only; 30% karstic or fissured aquifer, medium productivity; 22% porous aquifer, high productivity; 13% practically impermeable.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
