Title 1 General Provisions
Title 2 Provisions applicable to urban areas
Title 3 Provisions applicable to natural areas
UD ZONE
CHARACTER OF THE AREA
This urban area is mainly assigned to urbanization and activities (shops, services, etc.) which are its natural complement.
The implantation rules must give this area a relatively airy character.
Two sub-sectors (UD and UDa) are defined according to the parcel minima selected.
ARTICLE UD1 - TYPES OF OCCUPATION OR LAND USE AUTHORIZED.
• constructions or installations of any destinations, subject to the prohibitions mentioned in Article UD2;
• facilities classified for environmental protection subject to declaration which, by their destination, are linked to housing and urban activity and provided that they do not cause nuisance incompatible with them;
• public or general interest facilities
• excavations and grounding related to infrastructure equipment and public or general interest equipment.
ARTICLE UD2 - TYPES OF LAND OCCUPATION OR LAND USE PROHIBITED
-
- Facilities classified for the protection of the environment, except those mentioned in Article UD1;
-
- Industrial, commercial and agricultural warehouse constructions;
-
- Subdivisions for the use of activities
-
- Quarries, excavations and soil raisings except those mentioned in Article UD1;
-
- Makeshift shelters, scrap metal deposits, demolition materials, waste and disused vehicles;
-
- Light leisure accommodation (camping, caravannage, PRL),
-
- Caravan parking regardless of the duration.
ARTICLE UD3 - ACCESS AND ROADS.
Accesses and roads created must meet the conditions set out in Article 2 of Title 1 of this Safety Regulation (Article R 111.4 of the Urban Planning Code).
ARTICLE UD4 - 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:
a) 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.
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.
ARTICLE UD5 - LAND CHARACTERISTICS
To be buildable, new plots created by subdivision or division must have an area greater than:
-
- 1000 m2 in the UDa sector
-
- 2000 m2 in UD sector
This provision does not apply to public or general interest equipment and buildings. It also does not apply, in the UDa sector, to old parcels served by the collective sanitation network.
ARTICLE UD6 - IMPLANTATION OF CONSTRUCTIONS IN RELATION TO THE TRACKS
Any new construction must be implemented with a minimum withdrawal of:
-
- 30 meters by the axis of the RD 514
- 5 meters from the alignment of the other tracks.
In the event of de facto alignment of the island or the street in question, the installation of the constructions with the existing alignment or defined by an alignment plan is authorized.
Different setbacks may be authorized compared to the new roads created on the occasion of subdivisions and housing groups in the event of an extension of existing buildings, provided that there is no inconvenience to safety.
Technical works necessary for the operation of public or general interest services are not subject to distance and setback rules.
ARTICLE UD 7 - IMPLEMENTATION OF CONSTRUCTIONS IN RELATION TO SEPARATIVE LIMITS
The distance counted horizontally from any point of a building to the point closest to the separating limit must be at least equal to:
In the UD sector
Half of the difference in altitude between these 2 points, without being able to be less than 4 meters.
In the UDa sector
Half of the difference in altitude between these 2 points decreased by 4 meters without being able to be less than 2 m.
In the entire UD sector, however, are authorized, in separate 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 facing existing buildings of greater height within the height limits defined in Article UD10.
Different setbacks may be allowed in the event of an extension of existing buildings.
These provisions are not applicable to the new separate boundaries created on the occasion of subdivisions and housing groups.
Technical works necessary for the operation of public or general services are not subject to the distance and setback rules.
ARTICLE UD8 - 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 (sewer) of the highest of the two constructions and never less than 5 meters.
This distance can be reduced without being able to be less than 3 meters 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 UD9 - GROUND CLEARING OF CONSTRUCTION
The ground clearance of the buildings must not exceed 25% of the total area of the plot.
ARTICLE UD10 - 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 building, by more than 0.60 m.
Infrastructure equipment is exempt from the height rule when its technical characteristics so require.
ARTICLE UD11 - 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.

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
Roofs with symmetrical gables with a slope of 40° to 60° are mandatory. Terraced roofs are prohibited.
