What to know in Ixelles
Ixelles is in the Brussels-Capital Region. Small outdoor works there follow the 2006 Regional Urban Planning Regulation (RRU), still in force, and the decree on minor works. Several municipalities add their own rules.
Local rules and grants
- In Ixelles, the municipal building regulation requires at least a third of the front setback zone to be planted and bans tall trees there.
- The neighbourhoods at the bottom of the Maelbeek valley (Flagey, rue Gray) remain prone to flooding: every square metre of garden made permeable counts.
The rules in Brussels
| Terrace at the back | No permit needed if the ground level changes by no more than 50 cm and at least half of the garden stays as planted open ground. |
|---|---|
| In front of the house | The front setback zone stays a garden: no parking, and only the paths to the front door and the garage may be paved. |
| Fence | On the street side, 1 m maximum in the front setback zone. Between neighbours, about 1.50 m on the boundary, 3 m at most further away from it. |
| Tree | Permit needed from 40 cm trunk girth and 4 m height. No felling from 1 April to 15 August. |
| Permit timescale | 75 to 160 days, plus up to 45 days for the application to be declared complete. |
