The Town Hall of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon has decided to reinstate the requirement for a prior declaration for any new fence or modification within the communal territory, in order to preserve landscape quality.

The Town Hall of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon announces a regulatory change concerning urban planning formalities. Following a resolution by the Municipal Council on October 8, 2026, the municipality has decided to re-establish the prior declaration requirement for any construction, modification, or reconstruction of fences and gates, regardless of their nature, throughout the entire communal area.
This decision aims to preserve the landscape quality, visual harmony of public roads, hydraulic transparency, and ensure compliance with current urban planning rules, particularly regarding heights, placement, and finishes.
Consequently, any future project for the creation or modification of a fence must imperatively be subject to a prior declaration submitted to the town hall's Urban Planning department and on the online platform of Grand Avignon.
Municipal services remain available to assist residents with these procedures and provide any necessary additional information.
