Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Municipalities with local advertising regulations (RLP) in Lorraine

The dataset lists the municipalities with a local advertising regulation (RLP) in Lorraine. The law of 12 July 2010 on the National Commitment for the Environment and the Decree of 30 January 2012 have profoundly amended the regulations on advertising, signage and pre-brands.The main objectives of this reform are to improve the living environment and to combat visual nuisances while respecting freedom of expression. This reform provides a more restrictive framework for advertising devices while allowing the development of new media and redefining the powers of instruction and police, between the State and the municipalities. Indeed, it is now the existence of a Local Advertising Regulation (RLP) in the municipal or intercommunal territory that determines the competent authority for the investigation and police of advertising. The RLP is a regulatory document for the planning of advertising in the municipal or inter-communal territory. Within agglomerations, except in absolute prohibition zones, the RLP defines one or more zones where regulations are more restrictive than the requirements of the national regulation. In some cases, the RLP makes it possible to reintroduce advertising in places where it is in principle prohibited, by demarcating the boundaries corresponding to those spaces and by laying down the requirements for advertising devices which are authorised to do so. The mayor then becomes competent to issue permits and in matters of law enforcement. When the municipalities do not have an RLP, the competent authority is the prefect of the department.
