Prior consultation

The consultation is a time of information and exchanges with the public in order to present the opportunity and the main characteristics of the project. Governed by Article L.103-2 of the Urban Planning Code or by Article L.122-1 of the Environmental Code, depending on the context of the project, its objective is to collect the comments and opinions of all the stakeholders in the territory on the main principles and objectives of the project. This stage is concluded by a report approved by the STIF Council, which reports on the exchanges and opinions expressed during the consultation phase with the public.

Public inquiry
