Question 6414 — municipalities

Summary

Mr. René Lioret draws the attention of the Minister of Regional Planning and Decentralization to the growing attacks on the right of pre-emption of municipalities, calling into question their capacity to pursue public planning policies that are coherent and consistent with the general interest. He notes that more and more companies and private operators are systematically contesting, sometimes in a dilatory manner, the decisions of pre-emption taken by the municipalities, seriously hindering the exercise of their powers in matters of town planning and local development. Only recently, the commune of Chamblanc in Côte-d'Or saw its right of pre-emption called into question even though it was exercised for a perfectly legitimate aim of protecting the local economic fabric and preserving the living environment. This multiplication of protests, often motivated by strictly private interests to the detriment of the general interest, contributes to weakening the authority of local authorities, slows down structuring projects and generates legal insecurity detrimental to public action. He therefore asks what measures the Government intends to take to protect the exercise of the right of pre-emption by municipalities, legally secure their decisions in the face of abusive appeals and recall firmly that the general interest takes precedence over particular interests in land use planning.
