Before undertaking civil engineering work, the Société du Canal Seine-Nord Europe must take ownership of the plots or property located within the scope of the project. It is in this context that a complementary plot investigation has been open since April 29 and until May 17, 2024 in Santerre Haute-Somme.

The parcel survey is a key step, which aims to identify and inform all the owners concerned while guaranteeing that their interests are properly taken into account. The file consists of the plans of the plots concerned and their owner.

This additional parcel survey concerns the municipalities of: Allaines, Barleux, Béthencourt-sur-Somme, Biaches, Bouchavesnes-Bergen, Breuil, Cizancourt, Cléry-sur-Somme, Epénancourt, Equancourt, Ercheu, Eterpigny, Etricourt-Manancourt, Languevoisin-Quiquery , Licourt, Mesnil-Saint-Nicaise, Moislains, Morchain, Moyencourt, Nesle, Pargny, Péronne, Rouy-le-Grand, Saint-Christ-Briost and Villers-Carbonnel.

The owners received a individual notification informing them of the timetable for the opening of the investigation, the filing of the investigation file at the town hall and the duty hours of the investigation committee. This commission of inquiry, totally independent, was appointed by the Prefect of the Somme department. Its mission is to collect the observations of the owners concerned thanks to a register made available to them at the town hall. Owners can also contact her in writing.

At the end of the investigation, the commission decides on the necessary or unnecessary nature of the acquisition of the plots by the Société du Canal Seine-Nord Europe. After having obtained the opinion of the plot inquiry commission and the observations of the Société du Canal Seine-Nord Europe, the Prefect may pronounce the transferability of property or plots which have not previously been acquired amicably and request from the judge an order to transfer ownership to the Société du Canal Seine-Nord Europe.

The opinion and the decree of opening of parcel investigation are accessible on the site of the prefecture of the Somme: www.somme.gouv.fr
