Living in this beautiful part of L'Alt Maestrat, with its charming rural setting and a population of around 177, we understand the unique climate here. While Castellón province is known for its coast, Ares del Maestre, nestled inland, experiences hotter summers and colder winters than the coastal areas.

We specialize in designing and installing high-quality pools that blend seamlessly with the local landscape and your home. Our team is expert in navigating the specific requirements of this area, ensuring a smooth and successful project from start to finish. For a standard swimming pool in Ares del Maestre, including local labour and materials, you can typically expect the investment to run between 8000 and 25000 €.

Regulations and Permits for Swimming Pools in Ares del Maestre

Navigating the local regulations for swimming pool construction in Ares del Maestre is crucial, and at TuExterior, we handle this complexity for you. While some outdoor installations, like awnings, might refer to standards like UNE-EN 13561, swimming pools fall under distinct municipal and regional planning laws.

For any permanent structure like a swimming pool, you will absolutely need a permit from the Ares del Maestre Town Hall. This typically involves applying for a "licencia de obra" (building licence). Depending on the size and complexity of the pool, it might be classified as "obra menor" (minor work) or "obra mayor" (major work), with differing application requirements and fees. Even for an "obra menor," detailed plans and technical reports from an architect or technical engineer are usually required. We will guide you through this process, preparing all necessary documentation.

Ares del Maestre holds the prestigious status of Bien de Interés Cultural (BIC), which means it has strict heritage protection. This significantly impacts any new construction or alteration, especially within the historic core or areas designated for protection. The municipal planning ordinance (Ordenanza Municipal) and the General Urban Planning Plan (PGOU - Plan General de Ordenación Urbana) are the primary documents governing land use and construction here. These plans will dictate permissible locations, sizes, and even aesthetic considerations for swimming pools.

Furthermore, construction in "suelo no urbanizable" (non-urbanizable land), which is common around Ares del Maestre, is highly restricted by the Valencian Land Planning, Urbanism, and Landscape Law (LOTUP - Ley de Ordenación del Territorio, Urbanismo y Paisaje). This law aims to protect rural and natural areas, meaning that building a swimming pool on such land is generally only permitted if it is directly linked to an existing legal dwelling, and even then, specific conditions and limitations apply. Agricultural or environmental protection zones will have even stricter rules.

We have extensive experience working within these regulatory frameworks in L'Alt Maestrat and will ensure your swimming pool project complies with all local and regional laws, helping you secure the necessary permits without hassle.
