Collaboration agreement paves way for Tuindershof housing plan
With the signing of the collaboration agreement for Tuindershof (Wijzend 10), the development of five new-build homes and the renovation of the former business residence is getting closer. We can now start making plans for the area. This involves the urban design plan, the environmental quality plan, the layout plan, and the adjustment of the environmental plan. The vacant agricultural land will be developed into a new residential location suitable for the future. These new homes fit well with the regional demand for additional homes and blend in with the landscape.
Important step in long-term trajectory
The location Wijzend 10 has a long history of redevelopment plans that were not previously implemented. There is a solid foundation through previous decisions of the college and this collaboration agreement. This agreement contains agreements necessary for the development of the area. The demolition of the greenhouses ensures that the area also visibly progresses.
With the construction of five new detached homes, the project contributes to the goals of the housing vision Stede Broec and the Housing Program 2026-2030. Through these owner-occupied homes, people can move to a home that better suits them. As a result, other homes become available and the flow in the housing market improves.
This signing is more than just a formal step. We are building on a plan that has emerged in consultation with the surroundings and that visibly contributes to a more beautiful and future-proof outer area. By cleaning up the old greenhouses and making room for new homes, we realize quality.

Participation in the neighborhood
In preparing this step, much attention has been paid to participation. The initiator has held conversations with residents from the immediate vicinity, including residents who live next to the construction project. Based on this, among other things, the watercourse on the east side is widened.
With this anterior agreement, we take an important step in the realization of this project. In good cooperation with the municipality, we are working on a development that adds value to the environment. We are proud of this step and look forward to further realizing this plan.

Follow-up steps towards construction
With the signing of the collaboration agreement, the phase starts in which the plan is further elaborated. Then an application is made for the planning procedure. In this procedure, among other things, the urban design plan, the layout plan, the environmental quality plan, and the adjustment of the environmental plan are elaborated. The municipality works as much as possible with 'parallel plans', so that different parts can be elaborated simultaneously. This way, we can save time and work more efficiently. Once these steps are completed, the environmental procedure can start and work is done towards a planning for the start of construction.
