Kingdingaling Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Been to our maire to see if we needed permission for an obove ground pool (partiallay in the ground).She showed us a booklet (with English translation) and under the heading exempt from permission was - uncovered swimming pool, we had to fill a form in and was told it would take 2 months.The form is - Declaration De Travaux Exemptes de Permis de construireSo I assume this is to let them know what we are doingDo you think we are ok to go ahead.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Trollope Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 This is an "ordinary" declaration de travaux. It is an application, like a Permis de construire, for building works that are not covered by a PdeC. You must wait for permission before starting work. People will have 2 months to object, after the permission has been granted.As I understand it, a partially buried above-ground pool is considered to be a permanent structure (and therefor a "proper" pool). This is the case here (22). Your experience may vary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anton Redman Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 From memory the ,maximum surface area of a pool for declaration de travaux is 20 square metres after that you need a permis deconstruire. The approved declaration came through after about 3 months the last time I applied for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I think it may depend on where you live. Our local mairie says that over 20 square metres we need full permission; the swimming pool company says we don't and appeared genuinely surprised by the rule.

Chas Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 We have a self built, in ground, kit pool with an area of 44sq. m. It went through the whole system on a Declaration des Traveaux without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
