Site plan in Wallonia
A permis d'urbanisme under the CoDT requires an architect for most projects. A defined list of minor works can be applied for without one, using Annexe 9.
Can you draw it yourself in Wallonia? #
Only for defined minor cases. An architect is required for most permis d'urbanisme. The application form itself reflects this: Annexe 4 is the form used with an architect, Annexe 9 the form for defined minor cases without one.
If your project falls under Annexe 9, you may prepare the drawings yourself. Otherwise, engage an architect.
What Wallonia requires #
Permits are governed by the CoDT (Code du Développement Territorial). Applications go to the commune (collège communal) or, in defined cases, to the fonctionnaire délégué.
The application includes a plan showing the works on the plot, at a stated scale, with a north arrow and distances to the plot boundaries. Parcel and cadastral base data come from SPW sources.
How to submit #
Online through the SPW "Mon Espace" platform. Paper submission is still allowed for citizens; full dematerialisation is scheduled for 2028.
Official information: wallonie.be.
What you can still draw yourself #
Annexe 9 minor works, sketches to brief your architect, and drawings for your own planning before commissioning work.
Drawblueprint.com — draw simple building documents yourself #
Drawblueprint is for the drawings you are allowed to make yourself: scaled plans with a correct title block and dimensioned distances to plot boundaries, easier than CAD and more capable than a general drawing program. It does not replace the architect required for most Walloon permits.
Many use Drawblueprint to for planning where to lay pipes on their property, for facade drawings, for communication with contractors, and other drawings that are useful in different stages of a project.
