Villarreal de Huerva

Can you build a house on rustic land?

Aragón requires at least 1 ha for a new house on rustic land.

DL 1/2014, art. 34.2. A town plan can be stricter.

Plan in force: Normas Subsidiarias (an older, simpler plan), from 1995. 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 4 wells and boreholes in Villarreal de Huerva. Half of the 3 with a depth found water at 7–8 m.

Ground: 63% practically impermeable; 16% low permeability, local groundwater only; 13% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 7.7% porous aquifer, high productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
