Residential Du Meelaan
Developer Project Du Meelaan B.V. has applied to the municipality with a housing plan of about 50 apartments on the edge of Palenstein. It concerns the site at Du Meelaan 578-582, 588. To make the housing development possible, the zoning plan must be amended and participation (consultation) has taken place.
State of affairs
The environmental permit to build the apartment complex was granted in April 2021. The zoning plan has been adopted and it is now irrevocable. Demolition of two existing commercial buildings will begin in July 2021. The developer aims to start construction in September/October 2021, which will take about 1.5 years.

Board approves preliminary zoning plan
The college approved the preliminary zoning plan on June 16, 2020. This plan has been submitted to the other governments and agencies for submission of preliminary comments. The city council was asked to make known any points of interest for the development into a draft zoning plan. The preliminary consultations with the co-authorities and the Council did not result in any reactions that led to adjustment of the zoning plan.
Participation (consultation) completed
The College of Mayor and Aldermen adopted the final report of consultation on May 19, 2020. This means that the participation process has been completed and we are entering the next phase. The participation aimed to inform and consult stakeholders about the plan and the planning procedure. On March 5, the developer presented the new building plan to local residents and other interested parties. An estimated 100 visitors attended this meeting. They were able to react to the plan and ask questions to the architect and experts from the municipality and developer. Here you can find the atmospheric report and the presentation of this evening.
Plot Passport
For this location, the City Council adopted a so-called plot passport. This contains conditions the plan must meet. This passport describes the housing types and the target groups (empty-nesters, middle rental). The passport also states the parking standards and the maximum building height of 40 meters.
