Municipality of Bergeijk takes next step towards new Enderakkers residential district
The municipality of Bergeijk is moving forward with plans for a new residential district in Bergeijk-Noord (Enderakkers). In this area, the municipality aims to build approximately 1,000 homes in the future. This marks an important step to ensure there are enough homes for current and future residents.
Why is this necessary?
Bergeijk is growing. There is an increasing demand for housing, partly due to regional growth (Brainport) and because more people want to continue living in the municipality. That is why the municipality aims to build around 3,000 new homes by 2040. The new district in Bergeijk-Noord is a key part of this plan.
Choice for Bergeijk-Noord
Following research in 2025, Bergeijk-Noord emerged as a suitable location for a larger expansion. On April 10, 2025, the municipal council decided to further develop this site. The municipality has also established a so-called right of first refusal. This means the municipality can purchase the land first, allowing it to maintain control over the development. Discussions are currently underway with the current landowners in the area.
Careful and step-by-step
Developing a new residential district is a major and long-term process. It involves examining various aspects, such as traffic, green spaces, amenities, and the living environment. The impact of the new district on the entire municipality is also being assessed, including its effects on schools, shops, and healthcare. To manage this effectively, the municipality, in collaboration with three specialized agencies, has developed an action plan. This plan outlines how the proposals will be developed step by step and when key decisions will be made.
Involving residents and stakeholders
The municipality considers it important to engage residents and other stakeholders in the plans. Participation is therefore a key part of the process. Information will be shared and opportunities for input will be provided at various stages.
What happens next?
In the coming period, the municipality will further develop the plans. This will happen in multiple stages, from initial ideas and research to concrete plans and decision-making. While this takes time, it ensures a well-considered and carefully planned expansion that suits Bergeijk.
With this integrated approach, the municipality is working with partners and residents to create a future-proof and livable expansion of Bergeijk.
