French term or phrase: faisceaux de protection de vue
Assessment report for a planned construction project.

Height of constructions:
Hauteur limitée en fonction des faisceaux de protection de vue sur la cathédrale, et en tout état de cause doit rester homogène avec celles des constructions existantes.

I understand that the building cannot be above a certain height so as not to obstruct views over a cathedral -is there correct terminology for this?

Thanks
