Avant de s'engager dans un projet d'extension, il convient de vérifier s'il est réalisable. Deux questions capitales se posent [...] 1) Quel coefficient d'occupation des sols (COS) est applicable à votre terrain ? 2) Quelle surface constructible vous reste-t-il ? Chaque commune possède un plan d'occupation des sols (POS) et son règlement. Ce plan définit les objectifs économiques, sociaux et architecturaux de la commune et fixe les règles d'urbanisme applicables à son territoire.
