French to English translations [PRO]
Government / Politics / Planning permission in Brussels, Belgium (in Belgian French)
French term or phrase: procédure de classement
"Dans le cas visé à l'article 153, 1er paragraphe, alinéa 3, le fonctionnaire délégué vérifie si la procédure a été régulière et son avis respecté. Dans le cas visé à l'article 153, 1er paragraphe, alinéa 4, le fonctionnaire délégué vérifie si la procédure a été régulière.

Dans tous les cas, le fonctionnaire délégué vérifie en outre, le cas échéant, si les conditions de l'arrêté du Gouvernement de refus d'ouverture de ***procédure de classement*** portant sur le bien qui fait l'objet du permis ont été respectées.

Dans la négative, il suspend la décision du collège des bourgmestre et échevins et le notitie à celui-ci, au demandeur ainsi qu'à l'Administration, dans les vingt jours qui suivent la réception du permis.

L'Administration transmet une copie de la décision du fonctionnaire délégué au Collège d'urbanisme dans les cinq jours de sa réception."



I have difficulty getting the gist of the whole of the second sentence, but I believe the key is "procédure de classement". Classement = closure (as in closing a case) or categorisation? Or something else?

The deeper question is regarding how the Brussels town planning system works.

The Bourgmestre is the elected mayor in Belgium and échevins are municipal councillors.

designation process/procedure


Explanation:
In US, if this were the classification of something (a house, monument, neighborhood, etc.) as historic or culturally significant, , it would be a designation. If it were classification of an area as a zone (industrial, residential, etc.), it would be a zoning; or, if a decision to allow a nonconforming use inconsistent with the zoning, it would be the granting/approval of a variance.

In US, there are two possibilities: listing on the National Register of Historic Places, which does not diminish the owner's right to modify or destroy the property; and state or local designation of a property as historic, which does limit those wrights and may fall within the jurisdiction of a local zoning commission which may jave created a historic district. http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/how-historic-property...

Asker: In fairness I did not state that the translation was into UK English. mrrafe provided information which would have been useful in the event of translation into US English, and, in addition, supported philgoddard's theory, which I believe to be correct. Many thanks mrrafe.

Asker: Thanks. I'm always slightly nervous translating Belgian French, in case words have a completely different meaning versus French (France).

Asker: S'il vous plaît ! (Means thanks in northern France and in Belgium...in Alsace too, I seem to recall.)
