Vega de Infanzones

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: Normas Subsidiarias (an older, simpler plan), from 2003. 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.

IGME records 2 wells and boreholes in Vega de Infanzones. Half of the 2 with a depth found water at 280–356 m.

Ground: 74% porous aquifer, high productivity; 27% porous aquifer, medium productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
