Siting of new horse stables

Postby Johnwad » Wed Mar 30, 2022 5:33 pm

Hello. Could you please advise: what are the legal requirements for the siting of new horse stables/ shelters? Presumably, there are environmental and planning regulations that cover this?

Our new neighbours have just erected new stables within 100 meters of 4 other houses and the smell is very unpleasant. We know that there are several planning rules regarding horse welfare that need to be taken into account and these appear to have been complied with. However, we can find no concrete information regarding the environmental requirements that need to be complied with, especially those relating to the impact on neighbouring residents.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried asking at the local ayuntamiento's planning office if anything is required? Are you in an urban area or full on campo? I must admit in our area of campo dog corrals and dogs in cages just pop up and no one does anything about it (one of the local dog owners is Guardia Civil so no point in ever complaining, not that any are that close to us now). Whether stabling for horses needs permission or approval or not may be a question for the town hall.

Thanks for the replies. I’ve tried approaching our local ayuntamiento but they haven’t answered the specific question of siting distance from adjoining properties; they simply list the horse welfare requirements.

I see from one post in the links that there is a “minimum 500m” rule. Interesting. Does anyone know if this correct and where this can be verified via an official website?

TIA.

Hi Johnwad,

If you put your Location in your Profile you could get more relevant info........... for Example if you're in Alcalá la Real I'd point you to the local office.
