The promoters were ready to pay him 20 000 euros so that this owner renounces any idea of recourse against the building permit. The same sum had been offered to the four other owners impacted by this real estate project which must emerge from the ground in the neighborhood. Pech david, at Toulouse.
“We didn’t like the process”
If the process is usual on the part of the promoters, it did not please Michel Delaux. The Toulousain, who lived a peaceful retirement on the slopes of Pech David, will see rise a 12-meter wall in front of its windows. “They wanted to silence us by giving each of us 20,000 euros so that we waive all proceedings in court,” he said indignantly. “We didn’t like the process.”
This is why Michel Delaux filed – with the other neighbors concerned – an appeal before the Administrative Court From toulouse. “We are awaiting a decision.” So far, no pickaxe has taken place. The two promoters, Green City Immobilier and Saint Georges Promotion, are waiting.
In front of its windows
Unless the permit is canceled, this inhabitant will see a building emerge in a few years from the ground ” in dividing property line “,” Facing my windows “. “To put it bluntly, it pisses me off deeply.”
And remember that when he had filed his building permit, several years ago, the town planning services had imposed on him that his house be oriented towards these lands which are today the subject of a real estate project. ” Here I am well punished », He pleaded. “Among the five owners who initiated the action, three built here after having been expropriated in the past, to allow the construction of the ring road and you CHU de Rangueil ».
–Without great illusion
Michel Delaux is hardly under any illusions. The town planning services explained to him that the problem of bondage of view was under private right. It is up to them to verify the conformity of the building permit with the local urban plan. On their side, the promoters would have refused the very idea of planing this project immovable. The breakeven point is very likely in the balance.
Therefore, the lawyer chosen to defend the interests of owners who consider themselves wronged puts forward another argument that could convince the administrative court. “There will be two projects, with only one access Leon-Tolstoy Street », Explains Michel Delaux. “These 63 units will lead to a small two-way street which is 3.50 meters wide”.
–“It’s a trap”
The accessibility issue is at stake. “Getting out of the neighborhood is already a hassle”, points out this inhabitant. “Within the 300-meter radius, compared to the locations of the planned buildings, there have already been 1,000 homes that have been built in recent years. The slopes are urbanizing at full speed, except that we can no longer leave the area. It’s a trap ”.
A feeling of helplessness
According to this resident, the problem of the evacuation of wastewater would not be resolved either. In this fight which is very personal to him, Michel Delaux wishes to be fed up, a feeling of powerlessness in the face of the promoters’ wishes. Dubitative in relation to a population growth inexorable, he criticizes this urban planning policy in contradiction with the wishes of a return to nature advocated by the current municipality.
–Decision in the fall
Contacted by Toulouse news, Green City Immobilier did not respond to our requests. For his part, Saint-Georges Promotion recalls that the building permit, concerning his 33-unit residence project, was issued by the municipality “in accordance with town planning rules”, with “a favorable opinion from the roads pole concerning the accesses”.
And to add: “The building permit was the subject of equitable relief by residents, which was expressly rejected by the Town Hall approving the compliance of projects with urban planning rules opposable. Subsequently, the applicants brought this appeal before the administrative court, which will have to deliver its analysis next autumn. ”
