– Locate the classified edifices and the built patrimony of value(ex :

C Identify natural elements to preserve (unique trees, humid zones,
O …) and take them into account in the urban plan.
Reinforce the local biodiversity respecting the
- ecological Mediterranean context and encourage the continuity of
U the environment
