Planisols: Support for Land Sobriety and Limiting Soil Artificialisation in Territorial Strategies
The 2026 Planisols call targeted local authorities and public bodies in five pilot regions: Brittany, Grand Est, Hauts-de-France, Occitanie and Pays de la Loire. Actions could cover assessment, strategy and operational projects, with project management assistance services. The call closed on 2 October 2026 at 6 pm; it should not be treated as open for applications.
Areas that want to limit soil artificialisation (land take) need to know their land better, organise the conversion of sites and build land sobriety into their planning documents. Planisols, run by ADEME, offered technical and financial support to structure these strategies and prepare preservation or renaturation operations.
