The arrival of thousands of new homes, extra greenery, and new infrastructure in and around Lisserbroek has moved one step closer. The municipal executive board of Haarlemmermeer has adopted the Environmental Impact Report (MER) and the area-specific program (GGP) for the Lisserbroek area development.
Lisserbroek will grow in the coming years; more homes by the water, in a green environment, and with its own character. The development aligns as much as possible with the existing village core. Approximately 3,600 new homes will be built in Binnen Turfspoor, Lisserbroek-North, and the village core. There will be space for nature and recreational greenery and improvement of public spaces.
MER
The MER examines the effects on traffic, noise, air quality, nature, water, and health. New transport connections are needed for the new homes. For the first phase, up to 2,900 homes, these are the Nieuwekerkertocht North and Middle, a connecting road, and a roundabout to the N207. For the next phase, the Nieuwekerkertocht South and a connection to the A44 will follow. Alderman Beryl van Straten (Housing): The current traffic situation in and around Lisserbroek will not improve with this, but we want to prevent it from worsening with these measures.
The development also affects Nature Network Netherlands areas, where part must be compensated. The Green Quadrant, a future nature and recreation area, can be used for this.
Views
During the six-week inspection period, 27 views were submitted. Based on the responses, the phasing maps were clarified, and additional information was added about traffic effects on the Lisserdijk and Hillegommerdijk.
Next steps
With the adoption of the MER and the area-specific program, an important foundation has been laid for the next step. Now the plans for the first 2,500 homes can be legally prepared. A draft amendment to the zoning plan will be drawn up for this. Residents can submit views on this, after which the council will make a decision.
