Zoning under the PLU of Sainte-Lucie-de-Porto-Vecchio
Areas already built up and connected to utility networks. These offer the widest scope for development: the regulations set building footprints, heights, setbacks from property boundaries and parking requirements.
Land reserved for future development. Building is generally permitted in a 1AU zone subject to conditions (a comprehensive development scheme and compliance with OAP); a 2AU zone first requires an amendment to the planning document.
