Villasequilla

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: Normas Subsidiarias (an older, simpler plan), from 1996. 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?

No well or borehole is recorded in Villasequilla. That is not proof there is no water: ask local drillers.

Ground: 73% porous aquifer, medium productivity; 14% low permeability, local groundwater only; 9.9% porous aquifer, high productivity.

Choosing where to drill takes a hydrogeologist.
