A result of the landscape charter of Alt Penedès signed in 2004, the municipal ordinance guide-model regulating the rural and peri-urban landscape is an instrument provided by Alt Penedès County Council to guide all town councils in the county interested in establishing landscape regulations. The ordinance model is intended to regulate spaces and buildings used for agriculture and winegrowing from a landscape perspective; forest areas and residential areas; industrial, commercial and service sector spaces and sectors of economic activity; road networks; service infrastructure; mining activities; and the river network in order to improve landscape integration and quality. Interested town councils may adapt an ordinance model to suit their landscape regulations and needs that will be binding and enforceable once it is approved. Furthermore, the criteria collected in the ordinance guide-model may be used to make occasional additions to spatial planning in the towns and resolve specific problems.

The temporary version of the planning and scheduling guidelines (or OAPs, from the French Orientation d'Aménagement et de Programmation) of the local urban development plan (PLU) for the city of Narbonne is a set of orientative, almost project-specific regulations applicable to some strategic sectors defined in the PLU based on the assessment and proposal of objectives created by the plan, which need not be areas of new urban development because consolidated urban areas are also reconsidered. The OAPs are binding and enforceable, since they form part of urban planning standards (Article L123-1-4 of the French Urban Planning Code). The OAPs of the PLU of Narbonne deal with environmental, landscape and heritage aspects, as well as urban planning needs, under a shared vision so that comprehensive solutions are obtained in each strategic sector, classified according to their objective: places for restructuring avenues and urban connections, places for integrating new residential areas and managing the transition between the city and the country, places for integrating new residential areas and promoting functional diversity, places for entering the city that must be rezoned and places for developing a dynamic economy. Another important feature of the OAPs of Narbonne is their presentation in highly detailed city maps that situate and graphically express each objective and proposal for action to be carried out in each strategic area.

The city of Neerijnen is near the Waal River, nestled in a landscape of floodplains used for agriculture and dykes and canals that shape the character of the landscape. The local residents appreciate their landscape, which is why the city views it as essential to make sure that new development is consistent with the quality of the landscape and helps to enrich its cultural heritage at the same time. The Welstandsbeleid (which could be translated as ‘local regulation for quality') aims to serve as a framework document that establishes the main characteristics of the aesthetic quality or image of the city. In this case, the Welstandsbeleid is also considered a framework for evaluating all development plans in the city. The regulations were created with intensive participation from interest groups and the general public, which allowed for the plan to be fully accepted and for local knowledge about the landscape to be added to it. The Welstandsbeleid includes a description of the history and development of the city of Neerijnen and of the constructive features found in each area. Once the analysis is done, the quality of the landscape is evaluated and an entire series of criteria is established to guarantee and improve its quality. These criteria are applicable to commercial, residential and agricultural buildings, dykes and areas of economic activity. The criteria, which are binding for obtaining building and installation licenses, are exemplified with illustrations to make them easier to understand. Maps in digital format may also be viewed on its website.
