Hotel Van der Valk Zilverstraat
On June 24, 2019, the council approved the development of a Van der Valk hotel on Zilverstraat with an area of 20,000m2 and a height of 75 meters. The building plan was then further developed. The building plan for the hotel now partly has a building height of approximately 74 meters and consists of approximately 192 hotel rooms, meeting and conference rooms, a restaurant, a wellness with swimming pool and fitness facilities and a casino. Sufficient parking spaces will be provided according to the current parking policy.
The zoning plan for this plot of land is now 'Business Area' and must be amended to allow for the hotel. The building plan conflicts with the zonings 'Business Area' (with building heights of 20 and 25 meters), 'Green' and 'Traffic-Staying Area' so the zoning plan must be amended. In anticipation of the development of the hotel, Jack's Casino has realized a temporary casino in cooperation with Van der Valk. The temporary casino will be operated until the commissioning of the permanent casino that will be housed in the hotel.
State of play December 2023
Zoning plan and environmental permit irrevocable
On September 11, 2023, the City Council adopted the Zilverstraat zoning plan. In addition, the environmental permit was granted by the Municipal Executive for the activities of "building a structure" and "making an exit". The environmental permit makes it possible to realize the project. The decisions have been coordinated. This means that the different decisions are considered one decision for appeal.
As of October 27, 2023, the possibility existed for 6 weeks (until December 7, 2023) to appeal to the Administrative Law Division of the Council of State against the decision to adopt the zoning plan and against the environmental permit. No appeal has been filed. As a result, the zoning plan and the environmental permit are irrevocable. The full text of the announcement and the adopted zoning plan and environmental permit can be found at the bottom of this page under 'Documents'. The zoning plan and the environmental permit can also be viewed on the website www.ruimtelijkeplannen.nl.
Participation
There was a first participation meeting for local residents on January 28, 2020. This was mainly about the arrival of the temporary casino and gave a glimpse of the development of the hotel. At the downloadable documents you will find the presentation given to the approximately 25 attendees, the atmospheric report of the first evening and the letter sent to the local residents about the second participation evening.
The second evening of participation was on Thursday evening, Sept. 23, 2021, and focused on the design of the hotel and public space.
During the period when the draft decisions were available for inspection, an information meeting was held on March 29, 2023. Interested parties could receive information and ask questions about the content and procedure of the draft zoning plan, the draft environmental permit and all related documents. Local residents received an invitation for this. Here you can view the images shown and the atmospheric report.
