Since 1980, Flanders has been competent for its spatial planning. It could have been the start of a bold policy, according to the adage of the first Flemish Prime Minister Gaston Geens: ‘We will have to prove that what we do ourselves is better.’
Nothing came of that plan. Flemish spatial policy has been a dragon for decades. Autonomous Flanders was not doing anything about it. Worse still, it happened with premeditation: it was a conscious political choice of successive governments not to pursue a planned spatial policy in the last twenty years.
The quadrilateral of spatial planning (plans-permits-enforcement-land policy) was reduced to permits: as much as possible, with rules that allowed for deviations and on top of that exception rules. Spatial planning was transferred at the Flemish level to the municipalities that do not attach any priority to it either. Everything is still possible, everywhere.
It is therefore high time for a social debate in which the ‘true’ value of open space is mapped out, with attention to ecology, health and respect. IN DUTCH!
