Next step for Silverwoid housing development plan
The municipal executive of Stede Broec has approved the urban development plan and the quality of the environment plan for Silverwoid in Lutjebroek. This marks an important step toward the construction of approximately 400 homes for first-time buyers, families, and seniors. If the municipal council approves the plan on April 26, the process to amend the environmental plan will begin. This is necessary to enable housing construction in this location. The revised environmental plan is expected to be presented to the municipal council in the fourth quarter of 2026. Once approved, construction can commence.
Few new homes have been built in Lutjebroek in recent years. With the realization of Silverwoid, the municipality aims to change this. Alderman Nico Slagter:
“With Silverwoid, we are making it easier for people to find a suitable home in Lutjebroek—whether they are first-time buyers who want to stay here, families looking to grow, or seniors. Many seniors are seeking single-story homes where care can be provided or downsizing to a smaller property. This is much needed, and we are now taking a major step toward achieving it.”
