Prescriptions PLUPLU Regulations (Prescriptions)
This API distributes prescriptions attached to French Local Urban Plans (PLU), the regulatory documents governing land use. Published through the Géoportail de l'Urbanisme (GPU) platform and maintained by the French national mapping agency (IGN), it provides parcel-level data covering all of France, refreshed weekly. Prescriptions typically include specific constraints and easements applied to plots, such as protected zones, setback rules, or other planning restrictions layered onto the base zoning. The data supports urban planning, construction permitting, and land-use analysis at the local level.Prescriptions PLU — official French public-data API published by GPU (Parcelle, Hebdomadaire refresh).
