    Zoning under the PLU of Sartène

    UZone urbaine

    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.

    AUZone in urbaniser

    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.

    AZone agricole

    Land protected for its agricultural potential. Only buildings necessary for farming are permitted, along with modest extensions and ancillary buildings to existing homes under strict conditions.

    NZone naturelle et forestière

    Areas protected for their landscape or ecological quality. There is virtually no scope for building, except in areas of limited size and development capacity (STECAL) expressly designated in the regulations.
