Controversial Asphalt Plant Project: Les Enrobés Namurois’s Acquisition of Bois Robiet Causes Outcry

2023-08-02 15:06:21

Les Enrobés Namurois (Nonet/Sotraplant) recently acquired Bois Robiet near the village of Sart-Bernard, announces the N931 collective. It is on this land that the group of companies is still planning to build an asphalt plant, a project that continues to arouse significant outcry.

Although they now own the land, the Enrobés Namurois do not yet have permission to build anything there. The municipality of Assesse had also given an unfavorable opinion for a bituminous mix plant on the grounds that this would involve removing an old path, followed by the refusal of the Walloon Region to grant the planning permit. The appeal brought by Les Enrobés Namurois is still pending before the Council of State.

Opposed to the construction of this factory, the N931 collective is surprised by this acquisition of Bois Robiet and suspects the new owners of wanting to impose their project by proceeding in two stages: first, to establish more “nice” infrastructures there, such as offices to later add an asphalt production unit.

If, at this stage, it does not yet have the certainty of obtaining the necessary permit, the family business Nonet explains that it nevertheless bought the land for its great intrinsic value: “There are few available plots of this type in the Namur region and we see enormous potential there.“explaine le responsable du projet Aurélien Nonet,”We are waiting to know the decision of the Council of State, we will then see what project can see the light of day, our companies need such a coating plant, but it could also be another industrial type activity.“.
