Brussels Parliament A-249 Under consideration

Call to appeal court-ordered construction freeze in Brussels

Official title: Voorstel van resolutie waarin de regering wordt verzocht om beroep aan te tekenen tegen het vonnis van de Franstalige rechtbank van eerste aanleg te Brussel van 29 oktober 2025.

Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘In progress’)

In plain language

  • Lawmakers are asking the Brussels government to appeal a court ruling that pauses construction and soil paving on open sites larger than 0.5 hectares.
  • This affects regional authorities, property developers, and house hunters, as plans for thousands of social and affordable homes risk being frozen.
  • For you, this means much-needed housing projects could be delayed, while parliament seeks a clearer balance between environmental goals and housing needs.
