Question 21401 — land use planning

Summary

Mr. Alexis Corbière draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, to the draft decree threatening 2,700 natural sites and landscapes and the concerns he has among their managers, associative actors and civil society. The protection of sites is today ensured by the “special authorization” regime which subjects all work modifying the appearance of the premises to a decision. issued at the end of the investigation by the minister in charge of the sites. Established in 1906, this policy has demonstrated its effectiveness through the protection of some 2,700 natural sites and remarkable landscapes in the territory. It is also recognized as such by international bodies as a tool capable of responding to the management challenges of properties listed as UNESCO world heritage sites. However, by this decree and under the guise of “simplification”, the Government plans to put an end to the national policy of classified sites. With this new system, it would be up to the prefects to make the construction decision and no longer to the Ministry of Ecology. This would be a serious loss of equality between territories. The risk of construction on a classified site would be placed under the sign of arbitrariness, depending on local differentiations and more or less marked ecological sensitivities of prefectural authorities. These are also subject to contradictory injunctions, between preservation of biodiversity and strong real estate pressures, suggesting decisions potentially harmful to the ecological imperative. For this reason, the Montreuil fishing walls, the Dune du Pilat like Mont-Saint-Michel and many other sites are directly threatened. This formidable heritage which contributes to the cultural and historical influence of France must not be sacrificed for the benefit of economic considerations. These are all common goods, which require protection commensurate with their value. He therefore asks it to reveal its intentions to ensure lasting protection of these classified sites and shelter from pressure of all kinds.
