The Urban Planning Code defines four types of areas regulated in the local urban planning plan (R.123-5 to 8): urban areas (U), urban areas (AU), agricultural areas (A) and natural and forest areas (N). These areas are delimited on one or more graphic documents. A settlement is attached to each zone. The regulation may lay down different rules, depending on whether the purpose of the constructions concerns housing, hotel accommodation, offices, commerce, crafts, industry, farming or forestry or the function of warehouse. These categories are limited (Article R.123-9).The already urbanised sectors where existing or under construction public facilities have sufficient capacity to serve the constructions to be installed may be classified as AU zones, the natural areas of the municipality intended to be open to urbanisation depending on whether or not the existing equipment on the periphery is sufficient to serve the constructions to be installed. There are two types of AU zone: areas AU ‘constructible’ and ‘inconstructible’ AU areas.Can be classified as zones A, sectors of the municipality, equipped or not, to be protected because of the agronomic, biological or economic potential of agricultural land.Can be classified as N areas, the areas of the municipality equipped or not, to be protected either because of the quality of the sites, natural environments, landscapes and their interest, in particular, from an aesthetic, historical or ecological point of view, either of the existence of a forestry operation or of their nature as natural areas.- Inside areas N, may be delimited: perimeters in which possibilities of transfer of right to build can be made (transfer of COS), — sectors of limited size and capacity where constructions are possible under conditions of location and density.
