I'm no expert but I'd have thought that if it's on your escetura, re-roofing is just a repair.

Hello, I live near Vinaros, in the campo. I want to build an almacen to store all my tools, trailer and equipment I use to maintain my land. I have > 100 olives on about 16000 sq metres.
I applied to the town hall in Vinaros assuming I just needed minor works authority. I paid the tax on the estimate. It was to be a small almecen, only 20 sq metres, self build with cost of materials about €1000.
I eventually recieved a letter from the town hall rejecting my application for 3 reasons.
1.  Because I am extending the built area on the land, I must have an Architect do draw up the plans so that I dont exceed 2% built area.
2. I must get permission from the ministry of agriculture, fisheries and food
3. I must get permission from the water authority.
I went to see the architect who designed the house. He couldnt believe it. He said 'Hacerlo' do it without permission . He thought the demands were ridiculous. I asked him how much it would cost for him to organise everything. He said his minimum charge would br €2000. I didnt bother. I have the foundations built but I cant go any further yet. All my neighbours (Spanish) cant belive it either. They are all busy extending, building without any permission, so perhaps the architect was right ?

Thanks Guys for your reply to my Roofing question,Well once I get my act together ,I am going to just get on with it ,I bought the roofing sheets second hand, at a agricultural auction so they definatly will blend in ,it is not a villa, just a small Caseta well away from prying eyes ,and water ,electric ,and every thing else.
by the way what is the differance between a Caseta, and a Almacen ? it has caseta on my mountain of paperwork
Also by the way IBCs"Tanks" were selling at £16.00 at the same auction, how much are these again in Tortosa !!!!!!
Thanks again
Phil

You may think that you are well away from prying eyes but don't forget that they regularly send planes over all areas photographing properties to check on any changes !!

Big Brothers watching us !!!!

Hi Fatphil
Yes unfortunatly it was in  UK ,it is a Agricultural Auction held once a month at my local cattle market CCM Skipton,tried to paste a link, but failed sorry just google them, there are plenty of these Auction,s around the country ,it is very easy to get carried away though, I was looking for a Wacker plate, but ended up with a pair of Jerry cans for £7.00, a Tilly Lamp for £6.00 , 8 x Larch Lap second hand fence panels for £25.00 and 5 X roofing sheets for £28.00 and dont know which it was but had to pay VAT of £0.90p on one of the items, there were Tractors Quads, trailers ,tools ,books,sheep ,chickens, you name it,the next Auction is on the 21st November.
I wonder if there are any  Auction of this sort in or around Tortosa ?
All the best Phil

Thanks Tony for the update ,my Parcel/caseta is that small ,that they would need a very powerful camera to tell any difference though "LOL"

I would assume that the planes were flying at least 100 feet above ground level, so why on earth would there be a flash being used?
It would have no effect whatsoever.
If they were photographing every property, then they would surely be using digital video, with coordinates overlaid.
I personnally think that this spotter plane stuff is spread about by certain unscrupulous estate agents, in an effort to con as many brits as possible out of their money.
just my own opinion
