Villar de la Yegua

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: Delimitación de Suelo Urbano (only marks the town's edge), from 1978. 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 8 wells and boreholes in Villar de la Yegua. Half of the 8 with a depth found water at 6–48 m. One spring is recorded.

Ground: 100% practically impermeable.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
