Planning consent in France for an Abri (Enclosure) to NFP90-308

Because of their ugliness their are specific planning rules for abris in France as follows. It is important to understand that these planning rules are quite permissive because any abris that is installed under these rules is being allowed provided that it is acting as a safety device in accordance with the Norm NFP90-309.

I know - I know! - just build the pool first and then stick up whatever abris you want.

I'm afraid it does not work like that - if you do not actually have a pool already the Declaration Preable must indicate what type of protective device you are going to install - and if you are going to use an abris then you are caught under the rules of the table for new pools
