French General Code of Local Authorities
In forceI. - Corsica's sustainable planning and development plan is a regional ecological coherence scheme within the meaning of article L. 371-3 du code de l'environnement.
As such:
1° It lists the areas protected under Book III and Title I of Book IV of the same code, identifies the natural areas that are important for preserving biodiversity and defines natural or semi-natural areas and linear or specific plant formations that make it possible to link them by constituting ecological continuities;
2° It lists the watercourses, parts of watercourses, canals or water bodies that appear on the lists drawn up in application of articles L. 211-14 et L. 214-17 of the same code, identifies all or part of the wetlands whose preservation or restoration to good condition contributes to achieving the water quality and quantity objectives set by the water development and management master plans pursuant to Article L. 212-1 of the said code, in particular the wetlands mentioned in article L. 211-3 of the said code and defines the watercourses, parts of watercourses, canals and wetlands important for the preservation of biodiversity that have not been listed or identified in this way.
It takes into account the national guidelines for the preservation and restoration to good condition of the ecological continuities mentioned in Article L. 371-2 of the same code.
II. - Corsica's sustainable planning and development plan implements the objectives of regional transport infrastructure planning within the meaning of Article L. 1213-1 of the Transport Code and the coordination and development objectives set out in regional intermodal planning, within the meaning of Article L. 1213-3 of the same code. As such, it meets all or part of the conditions laid down by these articles and by the regulatory provisions adopted for their application. The provisions of the plan relating to public transport services are binding on the departmental transport plans.
III. - For the sectors it defines, Corsica's sustainable development and planning plan is equivalent to a sea enhancement scheme within the meaning of the article 57 of law no. 83-8 of 7 January 1983 relating to the division of powers between communes, départements, regions and the State. To this end, it defines the guidelines, vocations, principles, measures and special conditions for the said sectors, as provided for in this same article. Territorial coherence schemes may not then include these sectors in the individual chapter of the schéma de mise en valeur de la mer that they may contain.
IV. - The provisions set out in I to III of this article are grouped together in individual chapters within the plan and are, where appropriate, accompanied by cartographic documents. Where these cartographic documents have a normative scope, their purpose and scale are determined by deliberation of the Assembly of Corsica.
