IMPLACATION OF THE OLD BUILDING: THE VILLAGE. Comments on the Local Urban Plan:
Remarks of the Local Urban Planning Plan:
Implation of the BATI in the Pavilion areas
1 "the "pavillon" type houses have been established:
-punctually in the old hamlets or on the edge of the village
-in grouping, along the existing roads (RD514 et rue du Hamel au Prêtre)
- in grouping, in "new" site with creation of roads, (rue du Mont Olive north of rue des Ecoles)
-In each case, we have the same type of implantation:
the house is set back from the track, 5 to 10 meters generally (depending on if the road is to the North or South) on "crumed" plots.
The construction is more often oriented according to the axis of the road than according to the sunshine.
The rue du Hamel au Prêtre is distinguished by a larger setback of houses (up to 20 m) and strip plots.
It can also be noted that the grouping of dwellings in a new site (north of Rue des Ecoles) was carried out around a road that was too wide (waterproofing of the soil) with a "cul-de-sac" system. What's more, this road does not include landscape treatment."
2 "Plots are rarely planted with tall trees, and the fence, more or less aesthetic, is the only element participating in the inscription of the building from the road... a difficult role to play.
House groupings are not exposed to views from a distance. On the other hand, a few isolated cases, poorly integrated, tain the landscape"
