What to know in Waterloo
Waterloo is in Wallonia. The works exempt from planning permission were redefined on 1 May 2025 (Article R.IV.1-1 of the CoDT). No exemption applies in a high flood-risk zone.
Local rules and grants
- In Waterloo, roadside hedges are limited to 2 m in height and must be planted at least 50 cm from the public road (general police regulation, art. 36).
- Powered garden work (mower, chainsaw) is banned in Waterloo on Sundays and public holidays, and on weekdays from 9 pm to 8 am (general police regulation, art. 99).
- Part of Waterloo is a Natura 2000 area (‘Vallées de l’Argentine et de la Lasne’ site): felling or groundwork near these plots needs checking first.
The rules in Wallonia
| Ground-level terrace | No permit needed and no size limit, if it is at ground level and does not noticeably change the lie of the land. |
|---|---|
| Driveway and parking | No permit needed up to 300 m² if they are permeable and non-continuous (stabilised gravel, open-jointed pavers, grass pavers). Above that, a simplified permit, without an architect. |
| Street-side fence | 2 m maximum if it is see-through (mesh, posts, low wall of 1 m at most), 1 m for a wooden close-board fence or gabions. |
| Tree | Permit needed for a tree with a 150 cm girth visible from the street, and for a native hedge of 10 m or more. Several municipalities lower the threshold to 40 cm. |
| Permit timescale | 30 to 115 days depending on the application. |
