Appreciate the ENVIRONMENT of the earth
Before acquiring land, you must first ensure that the area allows the construction of dwellings. Other points are also to be taken into account. The land must not be located in an area authorizing public utility easements: noise zone, power lines, flood risk prevention plan (PPRI)… Also remember to check that the municipality, department or council general does not plan to build subdivisions there, or that your land is not located in a zone of future expropriation (construction of a highway, etc.).
Appreciate the CONSTRUCTIBILITY of the land
You are required to respect the town planning rules of the location of your land: land use plan (POS) or local town planning plan ( PLU ). In these documents, available at the town hall, you will be able to know the volumetry of the building, the possibilities of setting up your building on the ground and information relating to its accessibility. In the case of a subdivision, the specifications and the rules of private easements must be taken into account.
ACTIONS to follow
Go to the town hall of the place of your future acquisition and ask for the payment with the applicable annexes for the land. This will give you the necessary information about the feasibility of the project. You can also write to the town hall to obtain a planning certificate for the land. This document summarizes in detail all the constraints that apply to the land. These steps condition the obtaining of your building permit. In the event of non-compliance with town planning rules, you can be prosecuted, up to and including the demolition of the building. Maître DAMY has 17 years of experience in this field.
