The project owner (often a local authority or public institution) is responsible for compiling the application file for a public easement (SUP), which must include the following elements:
A presentation of the project: this must explain the reasons why the easement is necessary, as well as the nature and extent of the easement.
A description of the land concerned: this must specify who owns the land, its location and size.
An impact study: to assess the impact of the project on the environment and human activities (noise, pollution, traffic, etc.).
A site plan: this must show the precise location of the land affected by the easement.
A list of persons and organizations consulted: this must include the persons and organizations consulted during the procedure, in particular the owners of the land concerned and environmental protection associations.
Once the public easement application file is complete, it is forwarded to the relevant authorities for approval. The procedure can be long and complex, and may involve public consultations and inquiries. The owners of the land concerned also have rights, such as the right to compensation in the event of expropriation.
The dossier de demande de servitudes d'utilité publique is an important document for setting up easements on private land as part of a project of general interest. Our engineering office will provide you with its expertise to carefully compile your public easement application file, enabling the competent authorities to assess the relevance and feasibility of the easement.
