Former POS: regulation of the NC zone

NC zones are natural areas dedicated to the protection of agricultural activity or soil or subsoil wealth.

Constructions, installations or land uses related to this activity are mainly authorized in these areas.

Nevertheless, the construction of annexes, extension, development and change of use of existing buildings may be authorized for non-agricultural use.

This area may exceptionally receive public facilities of general interest that cannot find their place in residential areas.

Two sub-sectors corresponding to the perimeters of protection of the LOUVIERES drilling are established:

In these areas, land use and activities must comply with the requirements issued by declaration "Public Utility of June 24, 1988.

• identical reconstruction after a disaster;

Subject to not harming agricultural activity, the following may also be authorized:

• camping on the farm

All other types of land occupation or use are prohibited, including:

• constructions other than those mentioned in Article NC1

• subdivisions of all kinds and housing groups;

In NCfe and NCfr sectors, these methods of land use are subject to compliance with the terms of the prefectural decree of June 24, 1988 and to the implementation of the technical provisions necessary to maintain water quality.

• light leisure accommodation (camping, caravan, PRL)

• caravan parking for a period of more than 3 consecutive months per year or not.

Water:

The connection to the drinking water network is mandatory for any construction for residential use. Constructions that cannot be served by water are not allowed.

Sanitation:

A) Wastewater:

The connection to the sanitation network, if any, is mandatory for any new construction for residential use.

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.

B) Rainwater:

When the evacuation network exists, the developments 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.

No minimum size will be defined for land receiving a new construction, other than for residential use.

The minimum area of land intended to be built for residential use must be 1,000 m2.

The following minimum setback is required from the track axis

Mentioned below:

• RD 514 25 m

• other routes ................. 15 m

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 authorized if the type of 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.

All constructions must be implemented

• either in a separating limit,

• either with a setback which cannot be less than 4 m.

Different setbacks may be allowed in the event of an extension of existing buildings, provided that they do not affect security. Technical works necessary for the operation of public or general services are not subject to the distance and setback rules.

Infrastructure equipment is exempt from the height rule when their technical characteristics require it.

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.

For the annexes to the house, the same building materials must be used as for the main building.

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.

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 of the extension or connection of the existing roof to the projected extension.

They must consist of hedges or any other clear-track device.

The full part of the fences must not exceed 1 meter in height.
