7.3. Planning Appeals in France - Recours Contentieux

A procedure to be used if you do not consider that a complaint either to the mairie or préfet is likely to be effective (as is often the case).

In these circumstance you need to bring a legal action in the Tribunal Administratif. There are appeal procedures to a higher court if you are not satisfied with their decision, but you will need clear grounds on which to make such an appeal.

The courts will only interfere if they consider the consent was not granted on a legal and proper basis. Accordingly, you are going to need to get professional support, by engaging an avocat specialising in planning law.

You can also contact directly your local administrative court to discuss the manner in which the complaint should be made but, broadly speaking, is is on the same basis as the previous procedure. The local court official is often a very good source of useful free advice.
