Cooperation agreement paves the way for Tuindershof housing plan
The signing of the cooperation agreement for Tuindershof (Wijzend 10) brings the development of five new-build homes and the renovation of the former business premises one step closer. We can now start drawing up plans for the area, including the urban design plan, environmental quality plan, layout plan, and adjustments to the environmental plan. The vacant agricultural land will be transformed into a new residential location suited for the future. These new homes align well with the regional demand for additional housing and complement the landscape.
Important step in a long-term process
The Wijzend 10 location has a long history of redevelopment plans that were previously not implemented. A solid foundation has been laid through earlier decisions by the municipal executive and this cooperation agreement. The agreement includes the necessary arrangements for the area’s development. The demolition of the greenhouses will also visibly improve the area.
With the construction of five new detached homes, the project contributes to the goals outlined in the Stede Broec housing vision and the Housing Programme 2026–2030. These owner-occupied homes will enable people to move into a property that better suits their needs, freeing up other homes and improving housing market fluidity.
This signing is more than just a formal step. We are building a plan that has been developed in consultation with the local community and will visibly contribute to a more beautiful and future-proof rural area. By clearing the old greenhouses and making space for new homes, we are creating quality.
– Nico Slagter, Alderman for Housing
Neighbourhood participation
Considerable attention was given to participation during the preparation of this step. The initiator held discussions with residents in the immediate vicinity, including those living next to the construction project. Based on these conversations, for example, the water channel on the eastern side will be widened.
With this cooperation agreement, we are taking an important step towards realising this project. In close collaboration with the municipality, we are working on a development that adds value to the area. We are proud of this milestone and look forward to further realising this plan.
– Peter Hof, Hof Projectontwikkeling B.V.
Next steps towards construction
With the signing of the cooperation agreement, the phase in which the plan is further developed begins. An application will then be submitted for the planning procedure, during which the urban design plan, layout plan, environmental quality plan, and adjustments to the environmental plan will be elaborated. The municipality will work as much as possible with ‘parallel planning’, allowing different components to be developed simultaneously. This will save time and enable more efficient work. Once these steps are completed, the environmental procedure can begin, and work will progress towards a construction start date.
