Wit-Gele Kruis receives building permit for new construction in Bruges on appeal, after the city initially refused it

The West Flanders deputation granted the Wit-Gele Kruis a permit for a new headquarters in Bruges after the city initially denied it due to size concerns. The plans have been modified, reducing the building's height and floor area. Although the organization is pleased with the decision, they will lose nearly 500 m² of space, affecting their regional office's relocation. The start of construction remains uncertain, and there is still a possibility for further appeals from both neighbors and the city council, which is reviewing the permit.
