Within the framework of a standard swimming pool (between 10m2and 100m2)

If you are considering installing aprefabricated polyester swimming poolwith dimensions between 10 m2and 100 m2, be aware that you will be required to declare the work to your local town hall. Thisprior declaration of constructionallows the administration to check that your pool project complies with the urban planning rules in force in your municipality. To obtain this document, it's very simple:

• Before filling out any form, ensure that the legal distances to be respected comply with the requirements of your pool project.
• First, fill out the appropriate Cerfa form and add the supporting documents (land plan, photograph, etc.);
• Once the file is complete, submit it to the town hall of the municipality where you wish to install yourshell pool.

Once the file is submitted, count between 1 and 2 months before receiving a response from the town hall. As soon as you receive a positive response, you will have 2 years to start theconstruction of your shell pool. On the other hand, if your response is negative, you will have 2 months to ask the town hall to re-examine your request!
