Les secteurs sauvegardés sont des périmètres à l’intérieur desquels la conservation, la restauration ou la mise en valeur d’un ensemble architectural présentant un intérêt historique ou esthétique particulier justifient que soient prises des mesures plus rigoureuses que celles qui pourraient l’être dans le cadre d’un simple plan d’occupation des sols; il y est alors établi un Plan de sauvegarde et de mise en valeur qui se substituera à tout autre document d’urbanisme à valeur réglementaire. 4, record 2, French, - secteur%20sauvegard%C3%A9

The breach in the Leonin Wall that appeared during this work constitutes a danger to the integrity of this fortified ensemble.

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
