5 kilometres of coastline of the hexagon in the land

The mountain has long had a national Council, the NJC, place of exchanges and proposals of all players (elected officials, business leaders, trade unionists, community leaders) involved in the preservation of its spaces and its economic development. Why not the sea Dominique de Villepin, a few days after announcing that the Conservatoire du littoral would be well assign all of the proceeds of the tax of francization of vessels, as of 2007, or approximately 35 million euros of new resources filled this gap by installing, Thursday, the NLC called a decade by the Bonnot report.

A alone, local elected officials will be 35 representatives on 72 members in this structure whose Christian Estrosi, Minister responsible for the development of the territory, had announced the end of August 2005. They will then have the means to influence the debate announced by the head of the Government. Dominique de Villepin has indeed developed the CNL contribution to "clarify the terms and conditions of the coastal Act." The forum chaired by MP Jérôme Bignon (UMP, sum) will have to reflect on the "tools to put in place to develop our coastal areas" in order "to adapt the right of coastal management issues.

Passed January 3, 1986, the coastal Act is considered too restrictive by number of elected officials. They would like to make flexible it to demographic pressure three times more high along the 5.5 kilometres of coastline of the hexagon in the land. Thus prohibits any construction within 100 metres of the shore and any road development within two kilometres. Hence the efficiency that recognize it 81 of the French, according to a recent survey by the CSA Institute, to "prevent the concreting of remarkable sites."

Lack of readability

However, the Act, source of a wealth of jurisprudence, lack of readability. On the same type of litigation, the administrative courts do not always the same judgment, generating instability until the Council of State decides definitively. "To be flexibility in the application of the Act to satisfy his mind", it is argued in the Ministry of development of the territory. Its inconstructibilité rules apply to all of the communal territory when well-even it is only a few hundred metres of shoreline and sinking several kilometres inland. The critical notion of Hamlet has the same meaning in the English channel and in the Var. Finally, its constraints weigh indiscriminately on all types of work, including sewage.

The debates of the NLC will not any rest given contradictory positions and each other. To the Ministry of development of the territory, not to concern little: "It is important that people from different backgrounds speak together." That the defenders of the environment, about sewage, confront the reality of the shellfish. "Associations for the defence of the environment, which count three representatives in the CNL, are on tenterhooks. France Nature Environnement (FNE), the "overrepresentation of the elected representatives of the coast, hostile to the mastery of urbanization" is in this instance "the place of the claims of local elected officials who want to change the coastal Act to promote their projects."
