Brick by Brick...
Like many things in France, the business of building or renovating property is extremely regulated with a specific process to be followed for any project, regardless of whether you're building a sublime new designer home or putting a wooden shed in the bottom of the garden.
New rules from October 2007
In an effort to streamline and improve many of the application and approval processes a new set of interlocking planning application forms have been implemented, replacing the previous building planning forms in France.
- The INFOrmation Page Building in France: French Planning, Forms & Permits takes an in-depth look at the new forms, including how and when to use them. It also takes you step-by-step through the process; from preparing a building project to declaring the work complete.
- The INFOrmation Page Building in France: French Process for Building & Renovations explains zoning and possible restrictions on making alterations to a building in a particular location (such as one that is situated within 500 metres of a historic building) and the purpose of a Certificat d’urbanisme.
- While INFOrmation Page Building Construction in France: Responsibility, Regulations & Insurance explains just that. It details the responsibility of the property owner, the architect, the builder and other players in a construction project.
