The short version · about 2 minutes

Most plots need only the basics. The rest is exceptions.

Start with the 2 general maps and the current rule chain. Step 2 folds away document branches you mark “No”; the Câmara confirmation stays open.

  1. Start here2 maps used for every plotTogether they show planned land use and public restrictions.
  2. Narrow it down0 quick checksNarrow the route without turning your answers into official facts.
  3. Read in order13 legal publicationsLater changes sit on top of the earlier PDM text.

01

Step 1 · Start with the 2 maps that apply everywhere

Use every map below for the first check. Read each map with the official legend printed on it; a colour has no meaning on its own.

02

Step 2 · Remove what does not apply

These revision-bound checks narrow the reading for this plot. A “No” folds the related branch away, but remains your indication until the Câmara confirms it.

These choices stay in this browser tab. They are sent only if you create a private authenticated report.

What remains in your route

No user choice is needed here. Câmara-only confirmation points appear in Step 4.

  1. Read the general maps and the 13-publication rule chain.
  2. Then screen the point and use the Câmara letter below.

Step 3 · Read the rules in the right order
