The new project from the Besix company for the reconfiguration of the Léopold district, in Namur, will be subject to public inquiry from January 16 to February 14, the Walloon capital said on Tuesday.
The integrated permit application for the multifunctional hub was declared complete and admissible by Wallonia on December 18. The next step is therefore that of the public inquiry.
In May 2023, Besix withdrew its permit application following various criticisms received as part of the public inquiry. For the moment, we do not yet know how the project has evolved since then.
As presented, the project still involves the creation of a net commercial area of 14,256 square meters, 3,650 square meters dedicated to services and leisure, 8,460 square meters allocated to offices, 122 housing units and 824 parking spaces. underground car parks. All this, with the parallel development of public spaces, modification and removal of municipal roads,
During the latest public inquiry, the Wallonia Commerce Observatory indicated that too many commercial spaces of less than 200 square meters were planned, which led to strong competition for existing businesses in the city center. The City of Namur had also received around a hundred criticisms, whether on a commercial, environmental and heritage level or even concerning mobility in the district.
