The Locquenghien project already got 2 negative opinions for patrimonial reasons by the Royal Commission for Monuments and Sites (KCML). The Property Management felt that the outbuildings had to be demolished. However, the KCML wanted the whole of the building to be preserved. The project is part of the district contract Les Quais.

The architect who was chosen had to take into account the various comments:

• renovation of the front and back building for a nursery and 5 houses
• demolition of the front and rear building at numbers 26 and 28 to make offices for the Hygiene unit of the City and 12 houses

The Locquenghien project is the first passive building of the Property Management. The total cost is just over 4 million euro. The works should start in January 2011.
