Regulated areas of the VERDUN land use plan

Post rendered void (Article 135 of the Alur Act). Back to the RNU since 01/01/2016. The regulated zoning of the land use plan (POS) is digitised in accordance with the national requirements of the CNIG. In a land use plan there are two main types of restricted areas: urban areas (U) and natural areas (N). These areas shall be demarcated on one or more graphic documents. A regulation is attached to each area. The by-law may lay down different rules, depending on whether the purpose of the construction relates to housing, hotel accommodation, offices, commerce, crafts, industry, agricultural or forestry operations or warehouse functions. Zones U and N are themselves divided according to existing or future developments. Thus in urban areas: — the UA areas indicate ancient urbanisation and dense tissue; — the UB areas a recent urbanisation with mainly collective housing; — UC areas a recent urbanisation but with pavilion habitat; — the UJ zones the various areas of activity of the municipality. With regard to natural areas: — the NA areas are referred to as future urbanisation, i.e. they can be developed at a later stage; — NB areas are natural areas partially serviced by equipment and in which constructions exist, but no further development is planned; — NC zones represent natural areas protected because of the agricultural value of the land or the richness of the soil or/or subsoil; finally, the ND areas are natural areas to protect either the quality of the sites or because there are nuisances or risks.
