Summary sheet
Société Wallonne du Logement (SWL).
Charleroi.
The project concerns the upgrade and renovation of low-cost social housing in designated urban renewal areas in Wallonia. The 5-year investment programme will affect some 35,800 homes spread among all 5 provinces in the Walloon Region, particularly in regional development areas.
The objective is to provide new or replacement social housing, refurbish older social dwellings and convert appropriate and otherwise redundant buildings to housing use, supported by complementary investment in urban infrastructure and other environmental improvements, in selected urban localities.
It is unlikely that an EIA is required for any of the sub-projects due to their nature and location. Whilst there may be some minor environmental impact during construction/renovation work, the net environmental and social impact will be wholly positive.
Procurement is under Services Directive 92/50/EEC and Public Works Directive 93/37/EEC for actual project works.
