Making home splitting clearer and easier
In the municipality of Zaltbommel, we are making it easier for residents to split existing homes. With new rules, we aim to make better use of the homes that are already available.
Clearer and more attractive for residents
Under the new rules, it is clearer what is possible. For example, we use a permit check, which allows residents to check in advance whether their plan is feasible. Residents can also request an initial consultation. This way, they know sooner what to expect and avoid unnecessary costs.
Additionally, we are encouraging home splitting. Initiators will receive a temporary discount on application costs, and their applications will be processed with priority.
Focus on suitable locations
With the new home splitting options, we are primarily targeting villages and areas outside the historic city centre of Zaltbommel. Splitting homes in the city centre is often more challenging, for example due to parking pressure and the presence of monuments.
“As a municipality, we are committed to ensuring suitable housing for our residents. That is why we are making it easier to split homes in locations where it fits well.”
Attention to the neighbourhood
It is important for initiators to first engage in dialogue with local residents. This way, plans can be better aligned with the neighbourhood.
Part of a broader approach
Home splitting is one of the ways we are working to create more homes. By using existing houses more efficiently, additional homes can be created that fit the surroundings.
How does an application for home splitting work?
Residents can first contact us free of charge via 14 0418 for an initial consultation. They can then submit an application via the environmental counter (Omgevingsloket). More information is available on our website.
