New local housing initiative in Welsum
Welsum has seen several local housing initiatives in the past. Currently, the village has a plan to build approximately 18 homes on the western side of Welsum. Our municipal executive board has decided to support the initiative in principle.
The new construction plans include 2 detached houses, 4 semi-detached homes, and 12 terraced houses. The plans were initiated locally by the landowners and their advisor. Alderman for Housing Marcel Blind: “This initiative is a welcome and logical addition to the village of Welsum. Some of the homes are affordable, which is naturally important for our young residents.”
Presentation to the village
The initiators previously presented their plans to the village, receiving predominantly positive feedback. With this decision from the municipal executive board, the initiators can now further develop their plans in the coming period. Attention will also be given to the adjacent allotment/community garden.
