As successive laws on the protection of nature and natural
resources have been passed and amended, the regime for existing
buildings in green zones has become increasingly stringent.
Indeed, it was impossible to carry out most of the work on a
building located in a green zone.
Over the past few months, the administrative courts have made
considerable changes to this situation.
Based on the fundamental principle of human dignity, two
judgments of the Administrative Court of Appeal dated 9 January
(docket No. 43470C) and 26 March 2020 (docket No. 43708C) allowed a
former operator to remain in his dwelling and to remodel it by
extending it, if necessary, in order to adapt it to a disability or
to old age.
