Construction of 8 detached homes on Boswijklaan in Doorn moves closer
The housing challenge in our municipality, like the rest of the Netherlands, remains a widely discussed topic. Many new homes are needed to provide housing seekers in the municipality with their own home and thus ensure the vitality of the villages. To promote this, the municipal executive has given the green light during the council meeting to grant the environmental permit for the construction of 8 detached homes on Boswijklaan B in Doorn.
This initiative was developed by Heerema Project Development and has undergone years of preparation. Now that the initiative has been approved by the municipal executive, these 8 detached homes, surrounded by trees and greenery, will soon be added to the municipality's housing stock to ease the pressure of housing shortages in our municipality and ensure the future viability of our villages.
The homes are connected to the new district being developed in the Boswijklaan A initiative, where 30 affordable homes are being built and for which the municipal executive gave the green light in October. In addition to the homes, the new district will feature plenty of greenery, trees, and sufficient parking spaces. In this way, the plan contributes to a livable and future-proof environment.
Councillor Rob Jorg (Spatial Planning and Housing): “As fewer people live in each home, the number of residents would decline if no additional homes were built. Extra homes are therefore essential to maintain our facilities such as schools and sports clubs. New homes also ensure better housing mobility and help our many housing seekers find a home. This gives movers and families the opportunity to continue living in the municipality.”
The plans align with the council's 2018-2022 housing vision. The initiative involves the construction of 8 detached homes with associated facilities, which will connect to the 30 homes in Boswijklaan A. Together, these two developments on Boswijklaan will offer a wide variety of housing types and prices. Great attention has been paid to sustainability and quality during construction.
The municipal executive has approved the environmental permit for the construction of 8 detached homes on Boswijklaan in Doorn. This brings the start of this housing project, developed by Heerema Project Development, one step closer. Construction is expected to begin in 2027.
