Paris Urban planning newsletter - N°1

In this edition of the Paris Urban planning newsletter, we cover:

1. Destinations

• Old / new destinations: application in time
• Darkstores - what qualification in terms of destination?
• Change of destination without work - at what date is it acquired?

2. LOTISSEMENT

• The crystallization of the applicable urban planning rules excludes the possibility of postponing the decision
• The crystallization of urban planning rules does not apply in the absence of implementation of the land division
• No bypassing of the subdivision in case of recourse to the building permit valid as a division to authorize the construction of individual houses within the framework of a horizontal co-ownership

3. INSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION

• What documents are required in the building permit application file when the project has a definitive right of way on the public domain?
• A request for additional illegal documents is no longer an obstacle to obtaining a tacit building permit

4. WIDENING OF THE SCOPE OF THE MODIFYING BUILDING PERMIT

5. DEMOLITION OF IRREGULAR CONSTRUCTIONS

• A construction built in disregard of the specifications of a subdivision is no longer necessarily subject to demolition
• The demolition of illegal constructions can now be ordered by a mayor, under his special police powers
