Reserved land is designated when local development plans are adopted or revised. Land is set aside for :
- thoroughfares : motorways, highways, streets, paths (new routes or widening of old routes),
- public works (infrastructure such as canals, railways, water treatment plants, transformers, etc. or facilities such as government buildings, schools, hospitals, social and cultural centres, etc.),
- the facilities in public interest* to create or to modify (this covers campsites and caravan sites for travellers),
- existing or future green spaces to create or needed for ecological continuity.
-
* Three criteria apply when defining such facilities: beneficiaries must be authorised to expropriate, they must be able to use the expropriation procedure for the facility in question, and the installation must be used for communal purposes.
