ARTICLE NB3 - ACCESS AND ROADS
The accesses and roads created must meet the conditions listed in Article 2 of Title 1 of this Safety Regulation (Article R 111.4. of the Urban Planning Code
ARTICLE NB4 - SERVICE BY THE NETWORKS
Water :
Connection to the drinking water network is mandatory for any new construction or installation requiring a water supply. Constructions that cannot be served by water are not allowed.
Sanitation:
Wastewater:
Connection to the sanitation network is mandatory for any new construction.
In the absence of a network, the autonomous sanitation of buildings in accordance with the departmental health regulations is authorized. The facilities will have to be planned to be easily connectable to the public network when it is built.
Rainwater:
When the evacuation network exists, the improvements made on any land must be such that they guarantee the flow of rainwater into the collection network.
In the absence of a network, the builder will have to carry out at his expense the improvements allowing the free flow of rainwater. In addition, the manufacturer will carry out on its land and at its expense, appropriate and proportionate devices allowing direct evacuation and without stagnation.
ARTICLE NB5 - LAND CHARACTERISTICS
Any land whose area is less than 1,000 m2 is unbuildable, unless it is the development or measured extension of an existing building, or public or general interest equipment.
ARTICLE NB6 - IMPLANTATION OF CONSTRUCTIONS IN RELATION TO THE TRACKS
Any new construction must be implemented with a minimum retreat of 5 meters from the alignment of the tracks.
However, the retreat from the axis of departmental roads is increased to 15 meters.
The latter limit may be lowered when it is an agricultural technical building or a residential annex to be integrated into a pre-existing complex.
In the case of reconstruction of an annex building to an existing house, the alignment of the dwelling may be renewed.
Different retreats may be allowed if the typology of the island or street in question justifies it, provided that it does not cause any inconvenience to safety.
Technical works necessary for the operation of public or general services are not subject to the distance and setback rules.
ARTICLE NB7 - IMPLANTATION OF CONSTRUCTIONS IN RELATION TO SEPARATIVE LIMITS
All construction must be installed with a setback at least equal to the difference in altitude between any point of the construction and the point of the nearest parcel boundary, with a minimum of 4 meters.
However, are authorized, in separating limits
- constructions with a total height of less than 3 meters. This height can be increased to 5 meters at the ridge and 3 meters at the sewer when the wall installed in the separating limit is a gable wall.
- in order to ensure the harmony of the facades, constructions backing on existing buildings of higher heights within the height limits defined in Article NB10
Different setbacks may be allowed in the event of an extension of existing buildings.
Technical works necessary for the operation of public or general services are not subject to the distance and setback rules.
ARTICLE NB8 - IMPLANTATION OF CONSTRUCTIONS IN RELATION TO EACH OTHER ON THE SAME PROPERTY.
Two non-contiguous constructions located on the same property must be at a distance from each other at least equal to the height at the sewer of the highest of the two buildings and never less than 4 meters.
This distance can be halved when the opposite parts of facades do not have main bays. It is specified that kitchen berries are assimilated for the application of this article, to main berries.
ARTICLE NB9 - GROUND CLEARING OF CONSTRUCTIONS
NEANT
ARTICLE NB10 - HEIGHT OF CONSTRUCTIONS
The maximum number of building levels is set at 3, including convertible or non-buildable attics, but not including the basement(s).
The upper level of the ground floor may not exceed the highest level of the natural land, on the right-of-way of the construction, by more than 0.60 m.
Infrastructure equipment is exempt from the height rule when its technical characteristics so require.
ARTICLE NB11 - EXTERIOR APPEARANCE
Constructions of any kind must not harm, by their external appearance, the character or interest of neighboring places, sites, natural or urban landscapes.
All traditional architecture foreign to the region is prohibited as well as any traditional architecture pastiche
The fittings or extensions of existing buildings must respect the character of the initial building with regard to the harmony of volumes, the scale of the drilling and the associations of materials and colors.
-
- MATERIALS
Constructions must be made of materials whose shade is as close as possible to the traditional materials used in the region.
A) Facades:
Facade walls that are not made of materials intended to remain apparent, such as cut stone, apparatused rubble, slate essentage, solid grouted brick, slate ensentage, must receive a facing or plaster, either dyed in the mass, or painted. The plasters or paints must be of a light tone, harmonizing with the tone of the Caen stone. Any painting, or colored element, distinct from the general tone of the construction, must be motivated by the arrangement of the volumes or architectural elements. The use of white color on exterior walls is prohibited.
Are prohibited :
• the bare use, in facing, of materials manufactured to be covered with a coating or coating, such as plaster tile, hollow brick. However, exposed concrete can be authorized if it is made with apparatus formwork and cast with care in order to remain raw.
• Imitations of materials such as false brick, false panels of wood.
B) Blankets
Constructions with a simm will be covered with slate or natural or aged flat tile.
Are admitted:
• materials with a similar appearance (slate, stained fiber, etc....)
• the large mold mechanical tile (22 m2) with a flat pure brown tone.
Are prohibited for constructions for residential use
• the square model slate placed diagonally.
• the large mold mechanical tile models with dimensions, diamonds or similar patterns.
- Corrugated fiber cement plates.
• unconcealed metallic materials (galvanized sheet metal).
For the annexes to the house, the same building materials must be used as for the main building.
- SHAPES AND VOLUMES:
Regardless of the size of the volume of the construction, elongated proportions are recommended.
A) roofs of buildings for residential use
Symetrical 2-sided roofs with a slope of 40° to 60° are mandatory. Terraced roofs are prohibited.
However, roofs with a single low slope are allowed for constructions for annex use located in a separate limit.
Geai wings or "Norman croups" are prohibited.
Any roof overhangs will be limited to 15 cm.
The skylights, if they are not included in the roof plan, will be straight and implanted in the lower part of the slope and of vertical and narrow shape.
These provisions do not apply in the case of repair of the roofs of existing buildings.
Different characteristics may be authorized for existing constructions in the case, in particular, of the extension or connection of the existing roof to the projected extension.
-
- FENCES:
They must consist of hedges or any other clear-track device.
Solid fences meeting the same provisions as facade walls (see "materials") are authorized over a maximum height of 1.80 meters provided that they do not cause any inconvenience to visibility along public roads.
Are prohibited: molded and prefabricated elements on the edge of the tracks or visible from them.
-
- Various
The construction of annexes such as huts, chicken coops, shelters, etc.. made with makeshift means are prohibited.
