Question 17059 — land use planning

Summary

Ms. Mathilde Feld draws the attention of the Minister of Territorial Planning and Decentralization to the gradual erasure of the architecture, town planning and environment councils (CAUE), a direct consequence of the persistent dysfunctions of the reform of the development tax (TA). Created by the law on architecture of 1977, the CAUE effectively supports communities, individuals and professionals on all questions related to development: architecture, town planning, landscape, environment. They are valuable partners for training elected officials and informing the public. This public service, financed mainly by the development tax, advises free of charge small municipalities which do not have specialized services and which cannot always call on private firms, particularly in rural areas. He them supports their development projects and trains elected officials on these complex issues. However, the sudden drop in revenue linked to this tax is destroying their economic model. The National Federation of CAUE (FNCAUE) reports a collapse in departmental TA payments, which have fallen by 65% ​​since 2022. The “uncollected” differential, caused by the sabotage of environmental taxation from 2022, is equivalent to approximately 223 million euros missing for the departments for the year 2025, or 40 million euros missing for the CAUE for the year 2025 alone. In Gironde, after 6 layoffs in 2025, 10 jobs are threatened, or half of the team still in place. With only 10 people, the CAUE will no longer be able to carry out some of its missions assigned by law, namely: information, awareness, advice and training. Funding difficulties raise fears that the CAUEs will no longer be able to sustain their public service action throughout the territory. Seven departments already no longer have CAUEs. Consequently, she asks what rapid measures the Government intends to put in place to stem the disappearance of CAUEs.
