Villalba del Rey

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 2014. 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.

Is there water?

IGME records 3 wells and boreholes in Villalba del Rey. Half of the 3 with a depth found water at 18–140 m. 2 springs are recorded.

Ground: 58% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 17% surface water body; 13% practically impermeable; 10% low permeability, local groundwater only.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
