Aletta Jacobslaan/Hugo de Grootlaan

Zoning plan adopted, higher noise values granted and environmental permit granted

On December 20, 2021, the City Council decided to adopt the H. de Grootlaan - A. Jacobslaan zoning plan as amended. A number of views have given rise to amendments to the rules and/or the explanation of the zoning plan. Ex officio the zoning plan has also been amended on a few points. Furthermore, the college took a (final) decision on higher values for noise on November 9, 2021, and granted the environmental permit on December 30, 2021. A number of interested parties appealed to the Council of State. On March 8, 2023, the Council of State declared the appeal unfounded.

Draft zoning plan

The college approved the draft zoning plan "H. de Grootlaan - A. Jacobslaan" and appendices on June 15, 2021. You will find the notification (publication) of the documents for public inspection at the bottom of the documents. Here you will also find the draft zoning plan, the draft decision on higher values for noise and the draft environmental permit.

Board approves preliminary zoning plan

On March 23, 2021, board of mayor and aldermen (B&W) approved the preliminary zoning plan. The preliminary consultations with authorities about the preliminary zoning plan can be started. The City Council is also asked to provide any points of interest on the preliminary draft zoning plan. Because participation on the building plan has already taken place, no participation on the preliminary zoning plan will be organized now. Later, views can be submitted against the draft zoning plan.

For every development, the municipality must investigate the impact on the environment and surroundings. You will soon be able to read the results of these studies in the zoning plan. The municipality determined on March 23, 2021, on the basis of the "Notification Memorandum EIA," that it expects the environmental impacts to be so small that a comprehensive "environmental impact report" does not need to be prepared. The B&W decision of March 23, 2021, the announcement of the various decisions and the Notification Memorandum EIA can be found at the bottom of this page under documents.

At the July 13, 2020 council meeting, the City Council adopted the land development plan and associated development principles.

Council Decision

The City Council designated the piece of land as a housing development site on January 29, 2018; just like about 20 other sites that the council has decided to develop for housing within 5 years to implement the Zoetermeer Housing Program.
