Consequently, Each year, no less than 4,325 dwellings were authorized on average. However, It’s huge. 30 years, coast erected nearly In addition, ” Knowing that more than eight in ten dwellings were apartments.

The coast, kingdom of second homes

This seven -year term of madness is explained by global economic factors. Nevertheless, “But there are also local reasons, Sourit Bart van Opstal. In addition, In the early 2000s, we saw the requests for second residences grow. However. at the same time, coastal municipalities understood that there was a lack of offers for their inhabitants and that it was necessary to worry about it. “ There was therefore a double response from the promoters with an offer of first and second residences. With this that the park dating from the 1950s and 1970s was obsolete and energy-consuming. Hence a number of demolitions-rectructions.

They released the projects that were waiting in their drawers and. above all, have shortened the deadlines for major phase projects. “As long as you can 30 years, coast erected nearly do. the different phases that had to get out of five to ten years were picked up over three to five years, Souligne Me from Opstal. Today the offer is rather limited. There are projects but, with some exceptions, they are sold at 70 %or even 90 %. The land is rare. the buildings to be demolished too, the files are complex, the opposition of the residents sometimes virulent and the deadlines for obtaining long permits. This therefore means, overall, little availability. “
