Factsheets 1.2. The classification as a remarkable heritage site. Scoping phase - Community Project Management
The competent planning authority may take the initiative of creating a Remarkable Heritage Site (SPR) in the territory of one or more municipalities. She then solicits the regional prefect (Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs Grand Est - DRAC) by mail accompanied by a deliberation of the deliberative body. At this stage, a perimeter proposal is not required.
1. The Screening Study
The purpose of the preliminary study is to define the perimeter of the SPR on the basis of a diagnosis to assess the historical, architectural, archaeological, artistic or landscape interest of the territory concerned.
This study is being prepared in consultation with theArchitect of the Buildings of France (ABF) at all stages.
In particular, it must be involved in the drafting of the specifications and in the choice of the project manager. Once the latter is selected, the community can apply for a grant from the DRAC Grand Est.

Once the SPR perimeter project has been finalized, the planning authority will refer the Prefect of the Region (DRAC Grand Est). The community must attach to its request the preliminary study, including the diagnosis, the proposed scope and its management tool, the decision of the competent authority validating the project and, if necessary, the opinion of the common(s) concerned.
The community and the Project Authority participate in the presentation of the project to the National Heritage and Architecture Commission (CNPA).
The CNPA pronounces itself on the scope project, and proposes the most suitable management tool, Backup and Enhancement Plan (MVSP) or Architecture and Heritage Development Plan (PVAP) or both (see sheets #2 and #3).
If the CNPA proposes an amendment to the RPD or the management tool, the Minister of Culture seeks the agreement of the competent authority in matters of planning, the silence kept for 3 months is tacit agreement.

The Prefect of Department organizes the public inquiry under the conditions defined in Articles L.123-1 et seq. of the Environmental Code. The Inquiry Commissioner, who is appointed by the administrative tribunal, must have a record that allows him or her to inform the public of the reasons for and consequences of implementing the MVSP.
In the event of a modification of the project at the end of the public inquiry, the Minister of Culture again requests the opinion of the CNPA, and the agreement of the competent authority in matters of urban planning, the silence kept for 3 months constitutes tacit agreement.
4. The closing decision
After the public inquiry, the prefect of department sends to the prefect of region (DRAC) the RPD’s request for classification. The file includes the draft RPD order, the opinion of the CNPA, the deliberation of the competent authority validating the project, the opinion and the report of the investigating member.
