Flemish minister blocks Luminus wind turbine in Dessel over living-environment impact

Flemish Environment Minister Jo Brouns refused a permit for a 198-meter wind turbine at Goormansdijk industrial estate in Dessel, citing the 330-meter distance to the nearest residence as too close. The decision follows over 2,400 resident objections and municipal opposition, marking a setback for Luminus's renewable energy plans in the region.
