What is a P.L.U.?
The P.L.U. divides the municipal territory into several zones according to their characteristics (housing, individual, collective, town centre, economic activity, green space, nature, etc.) and sets out the projects envisaged by the municipality. It sets out the general rules and easements for land use throughout the municipality. Its provisions affect our daily lives (housing, transport, parking, commerce, economic activity, culture, sport, the environment, etc.).
- It is a general legal document which is binding on everyone (individuals and legal entities) and which is used as the basis for land-use applications (planning permission, prior declaration).
- It is a regulatory document which governs town planning in the municipality it applies to all plots of land in the municipality, regardless of who owns them, it specifies and regulates land use throughout the municipality it defines, in particular, the building rights for each plot of land in the municipality.

The Local Town Planning Scheme includes a presentation report, a sustainable development plan for the municipality, regulations and graphic documents. It may also include development guidelines for neighbourhoods or sectors, accompanied by graphic documents where appropriate.
- The presentation report includes a diagnosis of the municipality covering a number of areas: demographics, housing, activities, transport, public facilities, etc. In particular, it analyses the initial state of the environment. Finally, it justifies the proposed town planning choices.
- The P.A.D.D. defines the general development and urban planning guidelines for the whole of the municipality. It is the key component of the P.L.U., and all other parts of the document must be compatible with it. Its content is based on the three pillars of sustainable development:
- maintaining a balance between urban development and the protection of natural areas,
- ensure social and urban diversity,
- use space sparingly, preserve natural resources and take sustainable development into account.
- The regulations sets out the general rules and easements for land use, in line with the PDAD.
