Map visualisation service (WMS) of the dataset: Restricted areas of ARTIGUES local urban plan

The regulated zoning of the local urban planning plan (PLU) is digitised in accordance with the national requirements of the CNIG. The Urban Planning Code defines four types of restricted areas in the PLU (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 (Art. R.123-9). U zones are those sectors already urbanised where existing or under construction public facilities have sufficient capacity to serve the constructions to be installed. The natural areas of the municipality which are intended to be open to urbanisation may be classified as AU zones, 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: ‘constructible’ AU zones and ‘unconstructible’ AU zones. The sectors of the municipality, equipped or not, to be protected because of the agronomic, biological or economic potential of agricultural land, may be classified as zones A. Sectors of the municipality, whether or not equipped or not, may be classified as N zones, 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, or because of the existence of forest exploitation or their nature as natural areas. Within zones N, may be delimited: — perimeters in which the possibility of transferring the right to build may be carried out (transfer of COS), — sectors of limited size and capacity where constructions are possible under conditions of location and density.
