New step towards transformation of park De Zuiderhof into housing
The council of mayor and aldermen of municipality De Wolden has agreed with the Transformation Plan for park De Zuiderhof and presents it for approval to the municipal council. With this plan, an important step is taken in the transformation of the holiday park from recreation to housing.
“With this transformation plan, we provide clarity to the residents of De Zuiderhof. In this way, we have a good and structural solution for permanent living on this park”, states alderman Gerrie Hempen. “At the same time, we ensure that the quality of the park and the living environment is strengthened. In short: another important step within our program Vital Recreation Parks.”
Transformation into housing
Park De Zuiderhof is part of the program Vital Recreation Parks. Earlier research showed that the park is no longer vital as a recreation park. Meanwhile, approximately 90% of the houses are permanently inhabited. Therefore, a careful trajectory has been chosen to planologically convert the park into a residential destination.
Owners agree
During a special General Members Assembly on February 14, the owners agreed with a large majority both with the Transformation Plan and the framework for the anterior agreement. In an anterior agreement, the agreements that are made in advance with the municipality are stated. With this, an important condition is fulfilled to continue the process.
The Transformation Plan contains clear spatial frameworks for construction and layout of the park and rules are set for paving, coverings and other construction. Also, a concept-green arrangement plan has been drawn up that has already been approved by the owners.
Municipal council to act
It is now up to the municipal council to agree or not with the Transformation Plan. When the municipal council agrees with the plan, agreements can be made with the individual owners about participation in the transformation, cost distribution and responsibilities. During the formal amendment procedure of the environmental plan, residents and other interested parties have the opportunity to submit comments. Any reactions will be carefully evaluated before the plan is definitively established.
