Setbacks
Building setback from a road and the roadside strip
Spain
Línea límite de edificación — the line from the road inside which building is banned; depends on the road class (Law 37/2015).
Distances and rules
A public road has red lines and a building setback. Near a street the building is set back from the red line; along regional or federal roads a wider roadside strip restricts construction. A public road is part of the urban-development plan — unlike a garden path.
Building limit line
50 m (motorway) / 25 m (other state roads) from the road edge
Spain — Law 37/2015 on roads (building limit line)
Important limitation
This is a planning aid, not a legal opinion. Before construction, check the local land-use rules, easements, the network/utility operator’s requirements and neighbour buildings.
