While the project is currently under public inquiry, some residents of the new public rest home desired by the authorities explain the reasons which lead them to oppose it. “We have urban planning reasons to oppose the establishment by the CPAS of a 97-bed home on the agricultural site of landscape interest of the meadow of the Cinq Bonniers trailindicates Jean-Louis Lamboray. I would like to point out that local residents have never opposed the idea of building a human-sized building on the buildable part of the land which would be integrated into the existing building. Despite our offer of collaboration, we unfortunately never had the opportunity to co-construct the project, our role being limited to making proposals on peripheral subjects which for the most part remained a dead letter..
To qualify the project, these local residents do not hesitate to speak of a “monster at the top of the hill. Although having evolved on this subject, the project still proposes the construction of a building impossible to integrate into the existing built environment. With its 78 m of facade, a height under cornice greater than 7.35 m, a total volume of 22,214 m³ with a footprint of 4,072 m2, this building of three levels (-1, 0, +1) in height, generates a feeling of crushing for the neighbors.
The latter also evoke neighboring roads of small size. “The proposed project would pose major mobility problems. From daily experience, it is already difficult to pass each other by car and weak users are not safe. The haulage of the construction site and all the comings and goings of workers, visitors, day residences, delivery trucks will only aggravate the problem. The file does not include any of the proposals made by local residents to protect weak users (marked sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, speed reducers, adaptation of the roundregarding Match…).”
A very annoying point: the agricultural zone. “As with all previous versions, the home is planned in an agricultural zone. The CPAS attempts to justify the use of the agricultural zone by providing annexes to the project such as day care and other serviced residences in a buildable zone. However , in the absence of an estimate of the costs of the entire project, the risk is great that only the home planned in the agricultural zone will be built. What is the point of defining such a zone if “we” can still build there?”
In the past, Grez-Doiceau was affected by flooding. “The land with a drop of 12 m is located upstream of rue du Lambais, flooded with each heavy rain. The theoretical study by the engineer Puissant on runoff concerns a situation which would be totally modified. The study “Recommended installation of a storm basin has not been carried out. Runoff will be accentuated while the 80 cm diameter sewer already saturates during heavy rains.”
“Misleading claims”
And to conclude: “Many assertions in the file appear misleading. Thus the visual impact suggested by the 3D illustrations does not correspond to reality, the assertion of approval by the AViQ (Agency for Quality Life) is made without proof, the assertion that there would be no alternative is contradicted by the existence in Grez-Doiceau of land for collective use and by the refusal by the authorities of the offer of such land adjoining the Coullemont site “.
