Regulated zoning of the Plan Local d’Urbaninsme de Luisant (28220), in Eure-et-Loir (28)

The Urban Planning Code defines four types of areas regulated in the local planning plan (R.123-5 to 8): urban areas (U), areas to be urbanised (AU), agricultural areas (A) and natural and forest 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. These categories are restrictive (Art. R.123-9). Areas already urbanised are classified as U areas where existing or under construction public facilities have sufficient capacity to serve the buildings to be installed. The areas of a natural nature of the municipality intended to be opened for urbanisation depending on whether or not the existing facilities on the periphery are sufficient to serve the buildings to be installed may be classified as AU zones. There are two types of AU zone: “constructible” and “inconstructible” AU zones. Areas A may be classified as areas of the municipality, whether or not equipped, to be protected due to the agronomic, organic or economic potential of agricultural land. Areas of the municipality equipped or not may be classified as N zones, to be protected either by reason of the quality of the sites, natural habitats, landscapes and their interest, in particular from the aesthetic, historical or ecological point of view, the existence of forestry or their nature as natural areas. — Within zones N, may be demarcated: areas within which the right to be built can be transferred (transfer of COS), — areas of limited size and capacity where construction is possible under the condition of location and density.
