How much can I build in Evere?

That depends on the plot: the area of the Regional Land Use Plan (PRAS) in which it lies, a special land use plan (PPAS) if one applies, the Regional Urban Planning Regulation (RRU) and the municipality’s regulations. For each address, the Perceelscan report states which area and which PPAS apply, with a link to their provisions; in Brussels, it does not yet calculate the m² of floor area.

Which special land use plans (PPAS) apply in Evere?

In Evere, 17 special land use plans apply, including the most recent ones: ‘PPAS N° 730 ARTEMIS QUARTIER COMPRIS ENTRE L'avenue des anciens …’ (2007), ‘PPAS N° 201 "AUBIER" QUARTIER COMPRIS ENTRE LA CHAUSSEE DE LOUVAIN …’ (1997) and ‘PPA N° 7D PLAINE DES SPORTS’ (1992). In addition, 2 PPAS are in preparation. A PPAS only applies within its own area: for each address, the Perceelscan tells you whether one covers the plot.

Do I need a planning permit in Evere?

For most works, yes: building, renovating, demolishing and changing the number of dwellings generally require a planning permit, and some activities also need an environmental permit; some minor works are exempt. You can see which permits already exist for an address on openpermits.brussels; the Perceelscan report lists the files for the plot.

Is my property listed as heritage in Evere?

Evere has 14 protected properties (listed or on the safeguarding list) and 151 properties in the legal inventory of architectural heritage. As a rule, a protected property cannot be demolished; the inventory is not a form of protection. For each address, the Perceelscan tells you whether the building is protected, lies in a protection zone or is in the inventory.

Is there a right of pre-emption in Evere?

Yes, in one perimeter: Evere - Conscience (until 2 March 2031). Within such a perimeter, a public authority has the right to buy first when a property is sold; the decree in the Belgian Official Gazette states which authority. For each address, the Perceelscan tells you whether the plot lies inside one.

Which municipal urban planning regulation applies in Evere?

For Evere, the urban.brussels register lists the regulation ‘Règlement communal d'urbanisme + ensemble d'intérêt patrimonial’. It applies alongside the Regional Urban Planning Regulation (RRU), which is in force throughout Brussels; a municipality may have other regulations too, so if in doubt, check with the municipality. The municipal regulations are listed by urban.brussels on urbanisme.irisnet.be.
