renewable sources of energy. (Art. 6 of the Technical Standard for Implementing the Plan for the
Comelico – Ost Tirol Cross-Border Area).
In terms of planning for municipal areas, in compliance with the indications given in the PTRC and
the Area Plans where applicable, each individual Municipality has drawn up its own town planning
scheme. These schemes deal with the areas in which the countryside it to be protected, especially
those of particular naturalistic value indicate din the PTRC and the PTCP. For the areas included in
the candidature, they provide a general definition of the standards for use that are compatible with
the naturalistic and countryside aspects that are prevalently of an agricultural / forestry nature.
Where Municipal areas lie within parks (the Parco Nazionale Dolomiti Bellunesi and the Parco Regionale
Dolomiti d’Ampezzo), the use of the land is subject to the Parks Management Plans, and the
municipal schemes make reference to these plans.
In most of the Municipalities the areas defined as being at the “heart”, which correspond to the rocky
outcrops that are included in the candidature, are classified in the town planning documents as agricultural
areas of the Alpine sub-zone of particular naturalistic importance, zoned for use for tourism,
recreation and didactic purposes. Here work is allowed that aims to enhance the environment
(e.g. setting out of new hiking trails) but no new construction is allowed. Alternatively, they are classified
as sterile, unproductive areas, characterised by the presence of rock and scree, where no works
are allowed.
In the “intermediate” areas the land is mainly used for agricultural and forestry pursuits, characterised
by forests that act as hydro-geological, landscape, or environmental protection areas in which
particular care must be taken of the countryside and environmental aspects, and where only the
building of bivouacs and Alpine huts, etc can be built, under specific conditions.
In other cases the “intermediate” areas are used for agricultural-forestry-pastoral activities used as
pastures characterised by a high degree of naturalness, in which work is allowed that is related to limited
economic productivity associated with bush clearing and mowing carried out with a view to caring
for and respecting the woodland and environmental resource on the basis of a specific economic
plan. In general, for existing buildings (Alpine shelters, mountain cabins, cheese-making sheds, refuges,
etc) restoration and redevelopment are allowed, as well as limited extension, as well as the demolition
and rebuilding of derelict buildings that pose a danger to public safety.
Only in a few isolated cases are there areas in which, in addition to the agricultural / forestry use,
production is also allowed or the land may be necessary for organising rural centres and villages in
which mixed activities such as light industry, tourism hospitality, and services activities are permitted,
provided these are on a small scale.
The various town planning zones are described for each Municipality in the attachment that refers
to the specific regulations for the use of the land.
By way of example, a summary of the current regulations for the Municipality of San Vito di Cadore
is given below:
