Urban strategy in Montataire

The planning decisions taken by elected representatives are set out in the Local Urban Development Plan (PLU). In addition to local choices that meet the needs of residents, legislation imposes a rigorous regulatory framework (the Solidarité et Renouvellement Urbain, Urbanisme et Habitat and Grenelle Acts, etc.).

Balancing jobs and housing is a key priority for the municipality. This means developing existing activities and welcoming new businesses, as well as stimulating demographic growth and diversifying the housing offer, with a planned redevelopment of the historic centre and certain recent districts, and greater diversity in residential programmes.

These guidelines are reflected in a specific development plan, including :

• Densification of the existing urban fabric,
• Maintaining shopping areas,
• Reserving a fringe for urban development to the north of the town,
• Strengthening of the business park to the south of the town and continuation of light business parks and facilities on the Pathé, Marches de l'Oise, Village Economique and former Goss sites,
• Preserving agricultural land on the plateaux,
• Protecting the wooded areas on the slopes of the valleys overlooking the town, forming a green corridor to the north-east as far as the historic spur,
• Maintaining the urban park on the former quarries to the south-west and protecting the banks of the River Thérain.

The Local Town Planning Scheme (PLU)

The PLU is a strategic document that defines the town's planning and development. This project directly concerns the residents and will shape Montataire for years to come.

It sets out the rules for regional planning and provides a framework for :

• Building zones and zones to be preserved,
• Building types and heights,
• The development of green spaces and infrastructure,
• Improving mobility and public facilities.

It also provides detailed answers to the following five questions:

• Where can we build?
• What can be built?
• Under what conditions is it possible to build?
• What equipment will be installed?
• Which sites are protected?

Applicable to the whole of the municipality, the PLU is governed by article L 421-8 of the Code de l'Urbanisme, which requires compliance with town planning rules for all land use exempt from formalities. These rules include protecting natural and agricultural areas, limiting the height of buildings, preserving a minimum of 70 % of green space, aligning buildings with the street, common ownership, etc. The aim is to promote quality architecture and town planning and to preserve a certain harmony within the various neighbourhoods.

Whether you are a private individual or a professional, the Town Planning Department is at your disposal to guide you through the formalities prior to any work being carried out on buildings or in private areas.

We're with you

Cadastres

The land register is a public register containing plans and descriptions of landed property in a municipality. It makes it possible to identify parcels of land and their owners, and serves as a basis for property assessment and taxation. 

Find all the information on the official government website 

The cadastral map is updated regularly by the State, which provides the local authority with an official annual return. A cadastral surveyor may visit your home to update the data.

Fences and demolition permits

"At the same time as the PLU, the Municipal Council voted :
- Preliminary Declaration for fences,
- Demolition permits".

For all fence constructions and building demolitions, please contact the Town Planning Department.

Work by private individuals

You need planning permission before starting or modifying any building work. Any change affecting the surface area or external appearance of a property (attic space, mezzanine, joinery, fencing, gates, rendering) must be authorised. The creation of additional accommodation in an existing building also requires authorisation from ACSO (Agglomération Creil Sud Oise) and may entail additional costs, particularly in terms of tax.

1. Information from the technical services
   For any work affecting the surface area or external appearance of your building, you should contact the technical services. They will provide details of the application to be made, the documents to be supplied and the deadlines. An appointment can be arranged.
   Good to know: For work affecting the pavement or roadway (e.g. installation of scaffolding), a specific request must be made 15 days before the start of the work.

Professional work

If you are a shopkeeper or entrepreneur and wish to carry out works or open an establishment open to the public, you are subject to the opinion of two committees: one for accessibility for people with reduced mobility and the other for fire and panic risks. 

To find out how to proceed, contact the Technical Services receptionist, who will be able to give you the initial information you need. Depending on your request, you may be given a form with a full list of the documents you need to provide. When you submit your application, you will receive a receipt informing you of the processing times.
