Les monuments sont indissociables de l'espace qui les entoure : toute modification sur celui-ci rejaillit sur la perception de ceux-là. Aussi la loi impose-t-elle un droit de regard sur toute intervention envisagée à l'intérieur d’un périmètre de protection de 500 mètres de rayon autour des monuments historiques. [...] Protéger la relation entre un édifice et son environnement consiste, selon les cas, à veiller à la qualité des interventions(façades, toitures, matériaux), à prendre soin du traitement des sols, du mobilier urbain et de l'éclairage, voire à prohiber toute construction nouvelle aux abords du monument. [...] La notion de covisibilité avec le monument est ici déterminante; il s’agit donc pour l'ABF [Architectes des bâtiments de France] de déterminer si le projet et le monument sont visibles ensemble d’un point quelconque, ou l'un depuis l'autre. S’ il y a covisibilité, l'ABF dispose d’un avis conforme. Dans le cas contraire, cet avis est simple. 3, record 4, French, - covisibilit%C3%A9
