How much can I build in the province of Luxembourg?

In Wallonia no regional rule says how many m² of floor area a plot may take: it follows from a local scheme, a guide or the surroundings, and the permitting authority decides on a concrete design. The Perceelscan tells you, address by address, which schemes and guides apply and what could stand in the way of a project.
