At the local level, there exist four main types of planning documents (documents d’urbanisme) that govern land use occupation and changes: i) the SCoT (Schema de Coherence Territorial); ii) local plans, PLU and PLUI, iii) the carte communale (which provides a map of buildable and non-buildable areas); iv) and national urban law which is enforceable even in the absence of a SCOT or PLU. It is also encouraged through the possibility to undertake intercommunal local urban development plans (PLUI), something that Greater Clermont-Ferrand has not yet engaged in. The current land use plan for Clermont-Ferrand relates only to the commune (PLU).
