Procedures concerning work on hedges are evolving with the implementation of a unique system designed to simplify processes. The website haie.beta.gouv.fr is now the administration's single point of access for individuals, farmers, professionals, and local authorities wishing to carry out work on hedges. This portal allows users to check the applicable rules for a project, complete the necessary procedures, and track their progress.
The single portal serves as the primary submission channel for hedge destruction work. Before starting a project, users can utilize an anonymous simulator to identify the rules that apply to their situation and adapt their project accordingly. The process is entirely online and guides the applicant through several steps: locating and simulating the project, identifying regulatory obligations and associated timelines, defining potential compensation, completing and submitting the file online, and finally, receiving the administration's response and tracking the application.
The system also includes a single point of contact with the administration, technical assistance, and a frequently asked questions section to support users in their procedures. Requirements are announced as proportionate to the project's stakes, with a coordinated administrative response aimed at securing the work. It is therefore recommended to consult the single portal before undertaking any hedge work project.
