French term

Bonifier les droits à construire pour les constructions et rénovations à haute p

French to English Law/Patents Real Estate
The context is the Bonus de COS, a regulatory tool for an increase in surface area or height of new or extended buildings if they comply with high energy performance or other environmental standards. It is not the same as the planning permission (permis de construire) but more akin to outline planning permission. Is that correct, or is there a more specific term?
Proposed translations (English)
3 surface area rights
3 construction requirements

Thank you for your help. I have found a definition of droits a construire: le nombre de m2 de Surface Hors Œuvre Nette –SHON- qu’ils seront autorisés à construire, which solves the pb. well, only partly, as according to my local friendly planner, this does not exist in the UK and there is no equivalent term. will however think of using permissions in relation to surface area.
Adam Warren Aug 27, 2009:
Suggested rendering the sentence could be construed "increasing the scope of the relevant permissions for building or renovation projects with high energy/environmental performance [or standards]". Hullo again, Hilary. In answer to your entry, I thought "relevant" got round this, but how about "increasing the permitted construction area for building or renovation projects meeting high energy/environmental standards". Hope that helps.

the term I need is droits a construire, not all the terms entered

surface area rights

Hello,

I'm wondering if this could work. This is what's said in North America.

As regards retailing, leases and surface area rights, agreements have been entered into with companies such as Alcampo, Leroy Merlin, Media Markt, ...

construction requirements

I think requirements rather than rights because of the context of easing - e.g. easing requirements. Below is a url which helps explain in a US context and which may be useful.

Note from asker:
Thanks for your suggestion; construction requirements, however, will be controlled by the permis de construire and droits a construire is the potential right to build on a proportion of land. I gather those rights can also be traded with neighbours or developers, so that the proportion at local authority level remains the same. I have just managed to find the def for droits a construire. It is a defined surface area allowed for building, proportion of total property depends on local COS (coefficient d'occupation des sols). Never thought I'd get to the bottom of this! Thanks for help
