Question 5431 — security of property and people

Summary

Mr. Christian Girard questions the Minister of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty about the difficulties caused by the application of the legal obligation to clear bushes (OLD). The OLD requires owners located less than 200 meters from forests to clear brush within a radius of 50 meters around their home, even if this zone extends beyond the limits of their property. This obligation, although aimed at preventing fires, raises several issues: the significant financial burden for owners, particularly when the area to be cleared includes a significant part of the neighboring land; the complexity of administrative procedures, such as sending a registered letter to the neighboring owner to inform him of the intervention on his land; perceived inequity in the distribution of maintenance responsibilities between neighbors. Facing These difficulties, many citizens express their incomprehension and dissatisfaction. They propose that each owner be responsible only for the maintenance of their own land, within the limits defined by law. He therefore asks what measures the Government is considering to improve the application of the OLD, particularly in terms of fairness between owners and simplification of procedures, while maintaining the effectiveness of prevention against forest fires.
