A unique public inquiry has been launched concerning extension projects in Villeneuve-lès-Avignon and Les Angles, covering the classified site, the remarkable heritage site (SPR), and the areas surrounding historical monuments.

The Regional Directorate for Environment, Planning and Housing of Occitanie (DREAL) has ordered the opening of a single public inquiry. This precedes the project to extend the classified site in the municipalities of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon and Sauveterre.
Concurrently, the Regional Directorate for Cultural Affairs Occitanie (DRAC) is leading a project to extend the remarkable heritage site (S.P.R.) and create the delimited perimeter of the surroundings (P.D.A.) of historical monuments. These projects concern the municipalities of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon and Les Angles.
