Protected spaces: regulatory data
The protected areas delimit perimeters within which particular attention is paid to the quality of the works carried out there, because of the heritage interests which must be preserved in the titles of history, architecture, town planning, the landscape, archaeology...
There are:
- The saved sectors which concern urban areas of historical or aesthetic interest, and which require preservation as such.
- Architectural, urban and landscape heritage protection areas (ZPPAUP) or areas for the development of architecture and heritage (AVAP) which are natural, rural and/or urban spaces forming a living environment that must be sustained under all its components. Born, in 1983, of the ambition to give local authorities the opportunity to play an active role in the management and development of their heritage, 78 ZPPAUP were created there. However, the law of July 12, 2010, known as the Grenelle II law, wishes to replace the ZPPAUP with a new device: the areas for the development of architecture and heritage (AVAP). The principle remains the same: it is indeed an instrument dedicated to the protection and implementation of heritage. However, unlike the ZPPAUP, the AVAP takes into account the issue of sustainable development.
- The protection areas around historical monuments, commonly referred to as “approaches”, whose purpose is to preserve the environment of historic monuments (classified or inscribed) so as to avoid negative impacts in terms of their development.
