Greenhouse placement rules and setbacks
Spain · Auxiliary · usually lightweight
A greenhouse should respect the municipal boundary setback and avoid casting rain runoff onto the neighbour's land; exact distances come from the local planning ordinance.
Placement rules
A light garden structure for growing plants. The main planning issues are boundary setback, shade and water runoff.
Setback to boundary
No fixed national figure — set by the municipality, commonly ~3 m; check first
Setbacks (retranqueos) to boundaries — no fixed national figure; set by municipal PGOU / ordinances, commonly ~3 m
Runoff to neighbour
Do not drain rainwater onto adjoining plot
Spanish Civil Code, Article 590 (constructions near a neighbour's wall: wells, sewers, ovens, chimneys, stables, corrosive deposits) — distances per local regulations/customs
Important limitation
The catalog is a planning aid, not a legal opinion. Before construction, check the land plot category, local land-use and development rules, easements, utility protection zones and neighbour buildings.
