drained, pipes laid

Hard to know what they mean by this exactly! A "buse" is a section of drainage pipe.

By extension it is possible they are also referring to ducts for power cables, etc.

However the text does NOT say "viabilisé" (water pipes, drainage, electricity, gas, etc. laid out on site and connected up to the supply), which is what the site would have to be for the "buses" to be any good to anyone (and then only if their proposed building layout matched the duct layout!).

Unless it is agricultural land, in which case the "buses" might be a field drain, should the land have a natural drainage problem.

Or maybe it's a typo for "boisé", though were that the case you might not be able to see the "beau point de vue" for the trees!
"Buse" can also

agree Kate Hudson (X) : Much more likely

agree Tony M : I think your first solution is correct: the ducts are laid in ready, but the services not fed through them. Standard practice.

agree Miranda Joubioux (X) : I think this refers to natural drainage - I would put "drained"

agree David Goward : You're right in that "busé" is an odd term to use ("viabilisé" being the usual term as you said).

ventilated

When ads are placed in the newspapers for the sale or rental of houses or apartments, it is common to use such words as "large open rooms with excellent view, well ventilated etc."
Peer comment(s):

neutral Kate Hudson (X) : as this is a plot of ground it is not likely to be described as 'ventilated' windy maybe.....

disagree David Goward : Your expalantion is correct but, unfortunately, irrelevant in relation t plots of building land.

I asked the question to a neighbor in France who is an “entrepreneur de travaux public” and he told me that busé could mean 2 things (not precise enough to know which one for sure):
1) ditch piping or culvert (pipe) for driveway to cover the ditch for (rain) water run-off to access the “terrain”
2) duct/pipe for connection to water service supply and/or sewage system
Example found on net:
« Venez découvrir au coeur de la campagne nivernaise ce terrain constructible de 1112 m², viabilisé et buse. Situation géographique très sympa à moins de 2 mn des commerces. »
I think that “viabilisé” implies more than just water or sewage related piping, it would include also electricity and telecom connection lines.

Busage
Depuis le 1er janvier 2004, une partie de la voirie communale a été transférée à la Communauté de Communes. A cet effet, le busage des entrées relève désormais de sa compétence.

Afin d'assurer un bon écoulement des eaux ce ruissellement, nous rappellons que les entrées de parcelles doivent obligatoirement faire l'objet d'un busage règlementaire. Les personnes qui souhaitent faire buser leur entrée de propriété, limitrophe à la voirie communautaire, doivent en faire la demande auprès du service Voirie par le biais d'un formulaire.




Where the service pipe or a duct for the service pipe is
not already in position, the connection will be laid 500
mm from the side boundary you nominate on your
application form. (Note:You or your builder will need
to ensure the side boundary survey pegs are in position
and visible before you apply for a connection. This will
ensure your service is provided in the required
location.)
❖ Where, however, the main is located on the far side of
the road reserve the water supply connection will not
be located opposite a road T-junction or a private
driveway
