SUP AC1 — Servitudes for historical monuments in Meurthe-et-Moselle

Classification under historical monuments: these easements relate to buildings or parts of immovables whose conservation is of a public interest from the point of view of history or art. Owners of classified buildings may not carry out restoration, repair or alteration work without the prior authorisation of the regional prefect or the Minister responsible for culture. Registration as historical monuments: These easements relate to immovables or parts of immovables which, without justifying an application for immediate classification, are of sufficient historical or artistic interest to make their preservation desirable. Owners of registered buildings may not make any changes without prior declaration. No planning authorisation may be issued without the prior consent of the prefect of the region. Surroundings of historical monuments: Buildings or sets of buildings that form with a historical monument a coherent set or that are likely to contribute to its conservation or development are protected by the surrounding area. Surrounding protection also applies to any building, whether built or unbuilt, within a perimeter bounded by the Prefect. This perimeter, delimited on the proposal of the ABB, can be common to several historical monuments. These are the old modified protection perimeters (PPMs). If such a perimeter has not been delimited, protection under the vicinity applies to any building, whether built or unbuilt, visible to the historic monument or visible at the same time and situated less than 500 metres from it. Work likely to alter the exterior appearance of a building, whether built or not, protected by the surrounding area is subject to prior authorisation.
