An urban planning document is the result of an urban planning procedure in a given territory. This file lists all existing planning documents on a given department, i.e. local planning plans, land use plans and communal maps that have been digitised in the form of geographical data.
The local planning plan is the main planning document at the municipal level or in some intercommunal cases. It was created by the Solidarity and Urban Renewal Act (SRU) of 13 December 2000, not only to replace the land use plan (POS) in setting land use rules, but more broadly to establish the establishment of a land project in a local strategic document. Unlike its predecessor, it contains a development and sustainable development project (PADD), a non-opposable document explaining a certain vision for the territory. The PLU generally covers the entire municipal territory with the exception of the sectors already covered by a conservation and development plan (PSMV), the development and development sectors of intercommunal interest identified by a SCOT.
It is not mandatory for a municipality to have a PLU.
With the SRU Act of 13 December 2000, municipal maps acquire the status of urban planning documents. They are an alternative, at the same time, to the drawing up of a local planning plan and the application of the rule of limited constructability, by offering, in particular, municipalities, rural or peri-urban, a simplified tool for planning and managing the space adapted to their situation and needs. Municipal maps thus occupy an intermediate position between local planning plans and the national planning regulations.
The absence of an enforceable urban planning document entails the application of the principle of limited constructability (Article L.111-1-2 of the Planning Code) and in this case the various authorisations are investigated by applying the general urban planning rules.
Each new version of a digital planning document corresponds to a record in the table. Digital documents that are no longer enforceable are kept with a “cancelled” state and a specified end date of validity (i.e. datefine field).
