To pursue the aims of a “compatible and sustainable environment”, in accordance with the regulations and planning permission, the first draft founded of the “Planning Agreement”,  foresees the opportunity of forming  two new, big, predicted localized interventions (The Brughiera at Pogno and the Beatrice at Borgomanero) “productive areas ecologically equipped” together with the requalification of the outlying areas already existent (S.Maurizio d’Opaglio and Gozzano south/west).

The Agreement also predicts:

•   the definition of localized criterion and evaluation of these various opportunities, together with alternative feasibilities regarding the exact placement of a “Service Centre” at Gozzano for production and logistics in the area, so as to support the “visibility” of the district even in terms of possible facilitations regarding installation (territorial marketing policy area);

•   evaluation and definition of the feasibility of specific infrastructures and of co-ordinated services ‘above town council level’, for a “sustainable management” of the water supply, in terms of supply, purification and recuperation under the logic of total “saving” of a resource which is becoming more and more scarce.[1]

The VIA process (Evaluation of Environmental Impact) for the whole area was concluded positively with precision no. 2329 of 18/05/2007 in the Province of Novara’s Environment sector.

This area concerned is of about 38 hectares, destined to productive activity, industrial and artisan activity, warehouses and road transport installation. Commercial activities are not allowed, but adjoining areas are on sale for these activities with a surface area of less than 250 sq mt. however, limited to outlets and sale of industrial companies’ or artisans’ own products, made there.

At the moment a bigger portion is not available as it is conditioned by the predicted environmental reclaim and will be available only at the end of the same.

AS FAR AS REGARDS THE TERRITORIAL REQUIREMENTS, URBANISTICS, BUILDING AND ENVIRONMENTS OF THESE PRODUCTIVE AREAS ECOLOGICALLY EQUIPPED, IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERLINE THAT THE ADOPTION OF TERRITORIAL, URBANISTIC AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS REPRESENT THE FUNDAMENTAL INSTRUMENT FOR A CORRECT AND FAVOURABLE INSTALLATION OF A TERRITORIAL  APEA, AND THAT  MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS IN RESPECT TO THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE ON THE SUBJECT, ARE DICTATED BY THE PLANNING AGREEMENT AND BY THE NORMS OF THE GENERAL REGULATORY PLANNING
