Urban planning and development law

RR&A assists you, private and government actors, in all stages of implementing your urban planning and development projects: definition and control of procedural schedules, audits, negotiations, pre-litigation, and litigation.

We offer you transversal solutions integrating regulatory aspects and planning, development, and environmental protection.

REGULATORY URBAN PLANNING

The firm's administrative law division can advise you on all aspects of land use and protection in the local territory: 

• Review the project's legal feasibility under the applicable urban planning regulations (PLU, PPRI, Loi Littoral, Loi Montagne, etc.)
• Audit of the application files for urban planning authorizations (building permits, development permits, and prior declarations)
• Handling procedures for the instruction of authorization requests (instruction deadlines, relations with the administrative services, public inquiry, etc.)
• Administrative and judicial litigation of urban planning authorizations
• Legal assistance, preparing, securing, and revising urban planning documents (local maps, POS, PLU, inter-communal PLU, SCOT, etc.)
• Litigation of urban planning documents

OPERATIONAL URBAN PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT

We also assist with auditing applications for urban planning permits (building, demolition, and development permits). The team works with the petitioners and their architects to secure the application, anticipating possible difficulties and preventing them.

The firm regularly negotiates and manages preliminary petitions, contacting petitioners to purge disputes likely to hinder the realization of real estate projects, monitoring expert appraisals of the "preventive-accelerated action" type, but also expert investigations in construction liability.

The firm's administrative division assists clients in their projects and problems establishing and developing commercial premises: setting up, auditing, securing operations, and litigation, both in defense and as a plaintiff.

• Analysis of project feasibility for commercial development regulations 
• Auditing applications for authorizations before the Departmental Commission for Commercial Development 
• Assistance in preliminary appeals before the National Commission for Commercial Development 
• Litigation of commercial development authorizations before the administrative courts

ENVIRONMENT

RR&A assists you in implementing and controlling all procedures prescribed by environmental law (classified sites, water, polluted sites and soils, technological risks, fauna, flora, etc.).

We intervene both for advisory missions and in the litigation phase in the following areas:

• ICPE/SEVESO/IOTA (classified sites) applications (registration, declaration, authorization)
• Environmental authorization 
• Natural risk prevention plans (PPRI, PPRN, PPRIF, etc.) 
• Environmental control (waste, water, ICPE)

The firm's administrative law division also regularly organizes webinars on these topics and can respond to your requests for "customized" training.

Thanks to more than 13 years of professional practice in Paris and in Marseille, Camille Cros offers personalized, reactive, and complete assistance in these areas.
