Urban-planning regularisation in Arlon

Are you an owner or an investor in Arlon with a doubt about a property's planning situation? Urbexa supports owners in reviewing the existing situation and in the procedures that make a regularisation possible to consider.

Situations

Why might a regularisation be needed?

A difference between the actual state of a building and the permits available can concern several kinds of gap.

  • Extension or annex

    Volume to be compared with the permits available.

  • Conversion

    A change whose history needs to be examined.

  • Change of use

    A use that may differ from what was authorised.

  • Façade changes

    Façade alterations to place against the documents.

  • New dwellings

    Several dwellings whose situation needs to be studied.

Each situation has to be studied against its history and its characteristics.

Diagnostic

A first analysis

Urbexa starts from the actual state of the building and the permits available.

The diagnostic provides a first analysis before a larger procedure is started.

It is what a planning diagnosis covers.

Local context

Building subdivision in Arlon

Dividing a building into several dwellings has to be analysed before the project is treated as feasible.

Urbexa reviews in particular the number of dwellings, how they are organised, access, outdoor space and the constraints of the building. Support for building subdivision continues that analysis.

Urbexa can support the file from the initial analysis through to the preparation and follow-up of the planning procedure that fits.

  1. 01

    Planning diagnostic

    A first reading of the property, the documents on hand, and what the owner or investor actually wants to do.

  2. 02

    Review of documents and permits

    Finding the plans, permits and deeds that show what was authorised.

  3. 03

    Identifying the gaps

    Marking the differences between the existing situation and the authorised one.

  4. 04

    Studying the options

    Considering which procedures can be envisaged for the property and the project.

  5. 05

    When a procedure is worth pursuing, assembling the documents — with or without an architect, depending on the project.

  6. 06
