Saint-Hilaire-de-Court Municipal Land Use Zones Under 2008 PLU

A 2021-09-16 snapshot of land use zones for the French municipality of Saint-Hilaire-de-Court, based on the local planning plan (PLU) document from December 18, 2008. The dataset, provided by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, classifies municipal areas into four regulated types: urban (U), to be urbanized (AU), agricultural (A), and natural/forest (N).

Use Cases

• Classify land parcels for development suitability based on the defined U, AU, A, and N zones.
• Analyze urban expansion patterns based on the distinction between 'constructible' and 'inconstructible' AU zones.
• Assess agricultural land protection needs based on the classification of A zones for their agronomic or economic potential.
• Map natural heritage and forestry areas based on the criteria for N zones, which protect sites of aesthetic, historical, or ecological interest.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a specific legal document (PLU of 18.12.2008), providing a clear regulatory foundation.
• The description details four distinct zone types (U, AU, A, N) and their sub-categories, suggesting structured classification logic.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2021-09-16; freshness should be verified against current municipal plans.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
