Lizfjr Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 I am back in the UK and working through my Permis de construire application. This is for some simple changes to the house I have bought. There is a question on the form which asks if I have a Certificat D'urbanisme. Please can someone tell me what is a Certificat D'urbanisme and how do I find out if there is one?ThanksLiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moorejw Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 A Certificat d'Urbanisme (CU) is a bit like outline planning permission,it is the permit to use a building as a dwelling. All houses have one, but one is normally only aware of this when converting a barn etc. into a house, when the first step is to apply for a CU. In your case, where you are just applying for permission to make a few changes to an existing house you do not need to produce a CU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piprob Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 I would modify John and Angie's answer slightly, and define it as a certificate issued by the local authority describing the the planning and building requirements which any development on the site must meet.In our authority, a small township in the south, a 'certificate of viability' is also issued for land which has been authorised for housing development once services to the site have been installed, water, sewerage, electricity, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
