Résumé
In the past year, several new pieces of planning legislation were brought in, enriching land-use, urban planning and housing law overseas. In overseas territories (with and without departments), some planning documents have been approved or validated, while others have been adapted or simply added to the legal system. Many of these documents – including regional development plans and the associated marine development plans – are also covered by the national or local provisions on public participation and environmental assessment, which were adopted in 2016.
