The Normandy-Maine Regional Nature Park is a rural territory structured around a wooded landscape composed of numerous forests and hedgerows... but not only that! It is accompanied by a rich architectural cultural heritage, some classified.
Responding to new needs
These elements, markers of the territory's identity, are now facing a phenomenon of normalisation. The traditional buildings are threatened because of their difficulty in adapting them to the needs of the population, which today tends to centre around the main transport infrastructures.
In terms of urban planning and landscapes, the Park carries out various missions to meet this challenge:
Supporting a new way of developing the territory
Urban planning documents (SCOT or local map and PLU/PLUi if no SCOT) must be compatible with the provisions of the Charter in terms of urban planning. For this purpose, the Park accompanies the communities and the residents in order to build a shared territory project: accompaniment, revitalisation of the town centres, raising awareness with the fight against the soil artificialisation and a study on empty housing, ...
This new way of planning the territory also involves issuing decisions on a large number of development projects (especially networks).
Guarantee the quality of the territory's landscapes
The Charter determines the objectives of landscape qualities. These objectives make it possible to understand the evolution of the landscape and to analyse the impact of various development projects.
Amongst these landscapes, there is the question of emblematic landscapes such as wooded ridges or bocage "view points" and also the more everyday and urbanised landscapes that need redevelopment.
In order to enhance and protect these landscapes, the Park assists communities in the creation of documents: landscape plans, urban planning documents or Local Advertising Regulations (RLP).
