Urban Planning Compliance Assessment

Purpose

This agent analyzes the compliance of a French real estate project with the applicable Local Urban Development Plan, including PLU or PLUi rules. It retrieves official written regulations using the municipality INSEE code and produces a reliable, traceable analysis based only on source documents.

Primary users

The primary users are developers, real estate companies, asset and development managers, architectural firms, urban planning firms, and local authority permitting teams.

Where it fits (process/stage/trigger)

It fits during early feasibility studies, building permit preparation, prior declaration reviews, and urban planning file checks. It is triggered when a project needs to be assessed against the applicable PLU or PLUi before design studies or regulatory filing.

Key capabilities / workflow

The agent uses the municipality INSEE code to retrieve official PLU or PLUi written regulations through the Urban Planning Geoportal API. It analyzes project characteristics such as zone, height, project type, distances, land characteristics, and floor area, then checks each criterion against the official rules. If information is missing, it flags what is needed before concluding.

Inputs

Inputs include the municipality INSEE code, project characteristics, zone, height, project type, distance from street or surrounding walls, land characteristics, floor area, and official PLU or PLUi written regulations retrieved live from the Urban Planning Geoportal.

Outputs / Deliverables

Outputs include a compliance summary, a criterion-by-criterion table with verdicts and source extracts, and a list of missing information required to reach a conclusion.

Value

The agent accelerates PLU and PLUi compliance checks, improves traceability, reduces regulatory interpretation risk, and helps secure building permit or prior declaration preparation with source-backed conclusions.
