Six neighbors of the Jan Breydelstadion have decided to appeal to the Council of State against the environmental permit for the new stadium of Club Brugge. This appeal comes after the Council for Permit Disputes rejected the objections of twenty residents earlier this month.

The appeal is not suspensive, meaning that construction work on the new stadium can commence. Club Brugge can thus begin building this year, despite the legal actions taken by the neighbors.

The residents have expressed concerns about the impact of the new stadium, but the ruling by the Council for Permit Disputes did not favor them, clearing the way for the club.

The situation remains tense, as the outcome of the appeal could affect future developments, but for now, Club Brugge can focus on the construction of their new stadium.
