Housing Development Plan Hoogwoud-Oost: Have Your Say on the Urban Planning Framework!
The municipality is planning approximately 650 homes in Hoogwoud-Oost. To achieve this, an urban planning framework is now being drawn up, outlining the key ideas and regulations.
On March 30, 2026, an open-house meeting was held to gather feedback from residents, local stakeholders, and other interested parties. Were you unable to attend but still wish to share your ideas or concerns? You can submit them via the online feedback form until April 13, 2026.
What is an urban planning framework?
This document outlines how the new residential area should look, including:
- the number of homes to be built
- maximum building heights
- road locations
- green spaces and playgrounds
- quality standards for the neighborhood
Once the municipal executive has approved the framework, the developer will use it to create a detailed urban plan. This will include further details such as:
- precise locations of homes
- street and green space layouts
- parking arrangements
- building designs
How will your feedback be used?
We value your input. All responses will be reviewed and incorporated into the urban planning framework. A formal response to all feedback will be published, so you can see how your input has been addressed.
What happens next?
The municipal executive (college van burgemeester en wethouders) will make a decision in August 2026. The decision and the formal response to feedback will be published on www.woneninopmeer.nl. The municipal council will discuss the framework during its deliberative meeting on September 3 and will make a final decision during its meeting on September 17, 2026. You can address the council during these meetings to share your views. To do so, visit www.opmeer.nl/maak-gebruik-van-uw-spreekrecht.
Once the council has approved the framework, it will serve as the official basis for further development of the area.
