Perimeter of the Territorial Planning Directive (DTA) of the Nord Lorrains Mining Basins (from AdminExpress IGN repository)

The Territorial Directive for the Development of Nord-Lorrains Mining Basins was approved by decree of the Conseil d’Etat on 2 August 2005. Thus, the new doctrine of constructibility in mining basins, which serves as the legal basis for the establishment of the Mine Risk Prevention Plans (PPRM), is validated. Developed within 4 years of its launch, it is the second DTA approved in France. This directive lays the foundations for reflection to accompany the development of the Belval Ouest project on the territory of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. In order to allow the necessary change in the mining basins, it gives the impetus for the development of rail transport capacities, Moselle canalised, but also motorway A32. It also deals with the consolidation of economic development hubs, the preservation of the environment and landscapes and water resources. (source: DREAL Lorraine website, 8 August 2017).
