Urban-planning regularisation in Tournai

Projects for multiple dwellings and building divisions have to be studied against the characteristics of the building and the rules that apply. Urbexa supports owners and investors with their procedures in Tournai.

Situations

A planning situation to reconstruct

Before any regularisation, what was authorised has to be identified and compared with what actually exists.

  • Compliant elements

    What matches the authorised situation.

  • Possible gaps

    What actually exists without being covered in the same way.

  • Multiple dwellings

    A project for several dwellings, to be studied with the building.

This step separates compliant elements from possible gaps.

Diagnostic

What was authorised and what exists

Urbexa identifies what was authorised and compares it with the property as it actually is.

That comparison separates compliant elements from possible gaps, before a regularisation.

It is what a planning diagnosis covers.

Local context

Building subdivision in Tournai

Creating or regularising several dwellings needs an overall analysis.

Municipal documents on multiple dwellings show, in particular, the attention given to the quality and organisation of dwellings in this type of project.

Urbexa can review the existing situation and how the property might evolve. Support for building subdivision continues that review.

Buying and selling

Buying a building in Tournai

When a building is sold as a rental building, the number of dwellings actually recognised is an important piece of information.

A prior review helps assess the situation before you commit.

How Urbexa intervenes

Diagnostic, regularisation, planning permit or building subdivision: Urbexa fits the engagement to the file.

  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

    Preparing the file

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

  6. 06

    Filing and follow-up

    Submitting the file and handling exchanges with the administration.

Depending on the file, the application can be prepared with an architect or through a procedure without one.

Questions

Common questions

Municipal documents on multiple dwellings show, in particular, the attention given to the quality and organisation of dwellings in this type of project.

When a building is sold as a rental building, the number of dwellings actually recognised is important. A prior review helps assess the situation before you commit.

First identify what was authorised and compare it with what actually exists, so compliant elements can be separated from possible gaps.

Planning rules and practice can change, and they depend on the property and the project. An individual review remains necessary.
