Except that in the development of these specifications (a standard document of the Public Service of Wallonia), the advisers of the Villages group (opposition) expressed some criticism. The fact of not having started the procedure a year ago, when the opposition had suggested it, “but also to present the content and objectives with a technical approach, explained Jean-Marc Aldric. These are technicians who move forward and at the end of the day, we organize citizen participation. Here, we could first define the notions of living environment with the citizens, in the different villages.”
The elected official therefore suggests instead defining what we want for Perwez and asking the experts to transcribe it into a formal document. To do this, Jean-Marc Aldric asked to develop popularized information about the project, in the company of the municipal commission and to meet the population to ask for their opinion. “But the expert office is used to producing a municipal development plan and has a methodology for organizing citizen consultation,” replied the alderwoman.
While the majority had, for example, included in their objectives a “qualitative management of the living environment”, the Villages group wants to go further. “For example, it is necessary to indicate that the rural character should be preserved by imposing a low housing density”specified André Antoine.
Except that the two camps have an opposing vision. “Safeguarding the living environment is also a priority, as for Cap Perwez (citizen list, opposition). But we are not going to specify the density already when it is precisely the t work which must be carried out fec killed over the next 4, 5 or even 6 years”, replied Mayor Jordan Godfriaux.
Alderwoman Julie Dams added that a diagnosis of the territory was also underway, carried out by the Province of Walloon Brabant and the inBW, in order to understand the needs and specificities of Perwez.
“We will postpone the point to achieve unanimity, concluded Alderman Julie Dams. This will make it possible to convene the municipal commission, to reach a consensus to establish these specifications. We’ll probably have the diagnostic results, too.”
Christophe Krirem, the Cap Perwez advisor, regretted this postponement, because he believes that it was already possible to move forward, while organizing the consultations.
