Building a house, a business or even a gymnasium… All these projects are closely linked to town planning documents which lay down rules to be respected. If we are familiar with the local urban planning plans (PLU) which define the areas to be developed in the municipalities, we are less familiar with the urban planning documents of higher value. The PLUs must in fact comply with the guidelines defined in the territorial coherence plan (Scot), developed on the scale of the Pays Lédonien which brings together four communities of municipalities (Ecla, Bresse Haute-Seille, Porte du Jura, Terre d'Émeraude ). The Scot must itself meet the expectations of the Sraddet (a regional development plan) which itself must comply with the law.
Zero artificialization
Within the Lédonian country, the Scot has been under review since 2021. A public meeting is organized on Tuesday December 3 at 7:30 p.m. at Carcom in Lons-le-Saunier, in order to explain the content of the project to the population. Two main reasons led to the revision of the Scot: firstly to take into account the new perimeter of the Lédonian Country, which expanded with the creation of Terre d'Émeraude, and which currently has 200 municipalities. But also to integrate new laws, such as the Climate and Resilience Law which sets zero net land artificialization by 2050.
525 hectares maximum
The revision of the Scot is at the last stage: the creation of a document of orientations and objectives (DOO), which sets a vision of territorial planning until 2045. “The law gives the objective of zero artificialization but it does not say how we get there, explains Clémence Jartier, head of the planning department within the Pays Lédonien. It is the local elected officials who define this via this DOO.” We learn that a maximum of 525 hectares can be consumed throughout the Lédonian region until 2045: 148 for Ecla, 139 for Bresse Haute-Seille, 60 for Porte du Jura and 153 for Terre d'Émeraude, and 25 ha for facilities of collective interest. We also learn that the Lédonian country expects to reach 87,370 inhabitants in 2045, or 1,000 inhabitants more than today. An increase which will require the creation of 5,840 housing units.
After the public meeting on December 3, Scot's project will have to obtain the opinions of numerous associated public bodies, before the launch of a public inquiry hoped for the second half of 2025.
