France – Survey services – Elaboration d'un Schéma d'aménagement de plage en application de l'article L121-28 du code de l'urbanisme

The Solidarity and Urban Renewal Act of 13 December 2000 created the SAPs "in order to reduce the consequences on a beach and the natural areas close to it of nuisances or degradation linked to the presence of equipment or constructions carried out before 5 January 1986". In this sense, the law provides "that, in order to improve access conditions to the public maritime domain, the planning scheme may, exceptionally, authorise the maintenance or reconstruction of part of the existing equipment or constructions within the coastal strip defined in Article L. 121-16, provided that these are of a nature to reconcile the objectives of environmental preservation and tourist frequentation organisation". Since the late 1970s, the commune of Vendres has expressed its desire to develop the coastal fringe in a light manner, while also wishing to draw potential resources from the beach concession. Aerial photographs from 1980/1982 show the presence of constructions on the beaches. Since then, the commune of VENDRES has benefited from a beach concession granted from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2022, renewed annually. Almost all of the 8 lots are located in a remarkable and characteristic space of the coastline, but, in the absence of a SAP, there should no longer be any beach concessions. Therefore, the mission focuses on the development of the commune's SAP, until its approval by decree in the Council of State. This development will, geographically, cover the entire perimeter defined in the pre-operational studies (which it is strongly recommended to download from the CEREMA documentation portal) in order to measure the effects of the SAP's provisions. The services will be of three types: - The development of the SAP itself, including the missions relating to consultation (mandatory and optional) and communication. This service will organise the exchange times with legal assistance and environmental assessment. - The strategic environmental assessment, which will be carried out iteratively, - Legal support. The three lots cover the entire procedure for developing the planning scheme, up to the approval of the document by the Council of State. The subsequent stages (possible appeals against the document) are not included.
