In plain language

  • This proposal pauses permit procedures for projects on nine public natural wastelands in Brussels until the regional zoning plan reform is finalized.
  • It mainly affects public bodies, developers, and neighbors living near sites such as Josaphat, Marais Wiels, or Donderberg.
  • Local green areas in your neighborhood are shielded from new construction, though low-impact additions like paths or temporary urban farming remain allowed.
