Equip yourself to better manage

The Single Management Document allows a clear reading of the various protection and preservation measures of the Grand Site de France Solutré Pouilly Vergisson site. It compiles the actions to be implemented in the territory for the good management of natural spaces and the landscape.

a shared tool

To ensure the preservation and management of the resources of this territory, numerous initiatives are underway and being implemented. Having a single, coherent tool allows for a shared vision on the objectives and measures in favor of biodiversity and landscapes.

The Single Management Document is intended for all owners, managers and elected officials of the site, residents, wine growers, farmers, foresters, associations or developers, and is intended to to accompany in the preparation of their files Authorization requests developments or works.
This document is not a regulation, it ensures the consistency and readability of the decisions taken under the various protections. These guidelines and recommendations are subject to compliance with other regulations in force relating to town planning, agriculture (such as land clearing), water, etc.

This desire for consistency in public policies has resulted in the development of a " single management document " for the Grand Site area and its associated municipalities. It outlines and clarifies the framework of the various regulatory protections and alert inventories within the territory of the Mâconnais mountains and the Roches de Solutré and Vergisson, whose geographical boundaries sometimes overlap.

– Listed site,
– Registered site,
- Site Natura 2000,
– Major Site of France,
– Coherent management entities of the Conservatory of Natural Spaces of Burgundy,
– Monument HISTORY,
– Presumption of limitation zone archaeological,
– Valorization area of architecture and heritage (AVAP) now called a remarkable heritage site,
– Biotope protection order (APPB).

What can we find in the single management document?

It provides an overview and defines the objectives, management guidelines, measures, and implementation methods for the conservation of natural ( Natura 2000 and APPB ) and landscape heritage ( listed and registered sites). It ensures consistency between public and private actions that have a direct or indirect impact on habitats or species of community interest. It includes action plans resulting from collaborative work. Finally, a provisional deployment schedule is proposed and remains subject to change depending on the context.

The implementation and promotion of the document are ensured by the Department of Saône-et-Loire , the State, and the various partners involved in the management of the site.

The Single Management Document is organized into three sections across two documents.

  • The first part offers a diagnostic of the territory achieved during the years 2015 and 2016 by the Burgundy Natural Spaces Conservatory and the Territories & Landscapes design office. It synthesizes, analyzes and compares the administrative, socio-economic, landscape and ecological data recorded in the territory. Each of the diagnostic themes is presented in the form of a table summarizing the information collected, followed by a written analysis of this data.
  • From these first elements, are defined in a second part, the issues and objectives Management. Identified collectively in 2016, they are the result of various individual interviews with stakeholders involved in territorial management and reflections in thematic working groups.
  • The third and final part of the Single Management Document is devoted to the presentation of the action program aimed at the sustainable development objectives retained.

To facilitate reading the document, the maps are presented together in a Cartographic atlas.

The evaluation of actions and the revision of the document are planned during its 10-year lifespan.

A climate change study and vulnerability assessment were conducted in 2020 as part of the Life Natur'Adapt project's call for expressions of interest . In response to the findings of this study, certain action plans in the single management document will be adapted. This will involve integrating the challenges of climate change and disruption into the management of protected natural areas. Rising temperatures, significant seasonal variations in rainfall, surface soil drought, and an increase in extreme weather events will need to be taken into account.

An evaluation of the actions and a revision of the document are planned during the 10 years of the document's life.
