Land Categories

[la-vie-en-rose]

I couldn't find anything in my site search - can some-one tell me what the definition is of "Category One" land, please?  (It pertains to agricultural land, I think.)

And what are the other categories?

Thanks in advance.

I, too, am interested in your question, la vie, though I don't have any answers!

For example, I would like to know what brown field sites are called in France?

What could be the uses for a disused sawmill, for instance?

Pacha, I bet you know so just come on here and give us a few links?

At this time of year, Sweets, brownfield sites equal bone dry!

You're completely right, Wools! Brown about describes it.

Presume you mean the zones established in the "classement des terrains" (land classification) under the aegis of a PLU (plan local d'urbanisme)

zones U
zones AU
zones A
zones N

Example of subzones for a town in france below:

Thank you, Pacha, I guess the PLU is really the place to start the search.

In the context of Agricultural Land Classes, Category 1 land could be deemed to be high quality arable land. In terms of some EU grant payments, it could be interpreted as a high production farm.

If your enquiry is related to agricultural land use and classification, I would suggest making an enquiry with;

Unfortunately the Safer website is in french which may present a problem to some members of the forum. I am deliriously happy to bear good tidings to the effect that the Safer have already foreseen this potential linguistic hurdle. The Safer has accordingly moved heaven and earth in linguistic terms to give the english speaking fraternity their very own website in the language of that world renowned artist of the written word William Shakespeare. The site presents an eminently worthy site to engage in a first acquaintance with the bucolically idyllic opportunities of rural france.

This looks like it makes sense - the land in question is in the country and borders a river - I'll get onto the Safer site and see what the other classes are, too.

Thanks for the information.

Blimey, Pacha, have you been at the mead?  At least that's what I think they drank in Shakespeare's day!

Just to complicate things, the river is also very likely to fall into a category as well as the land [;-)]

Planned to pop down to Bourrou this weekend to meet up with friends Blaze & fourtrax but unfortunately they took a rain check.

In an endeavour to assuage my sadness tippled a bottle of grenache 14%.
