Housing Westergo
Housing corporation De Goede Woning (DGW) plans to replace 20 bungalows at Westergo and 3 bungalows at Oostergo with new construction. DGW's plan is to replace the bungalows with 2-storey apartments, totaling approximately 44 homes. DGW will assist the current residents in finding replacement rental housing.
Which bungalows are involved?
The addresses are:
- Biesland 5, 6, 7
- Collinsland 6, 7, 8
- Drechterland 15, 16, 17
- Duiveland 6, 7, 8
- Flevoland 6, 7, 8
- Montferland 1, 2, 55, 56, 57 and
- Salland 1, 2, 3 (these houses are located along Oostergo)
Why new construction?
The 23 bungalows are due for replacement. They are currently in poor condition. Renovation is not an option due to the relatively high costs, the operating time and the future-proofing of the homes. The layout of the home also no longer meets the requirements of this time. New construction offers the opportunity to make it more sustainable, to build slightly larger homes and to add an extra layer of homes. In this way, DGW wants to offer more tenants a suitable and sustainable home.
Participation
There is no established plan yet for the approximately 44 new homes to be built. DGW has made the first sketches. On November 28, 2023, local residents were able to view the first sketches during a walk-in meeting and provide points of interest for further development into a preliminary design. The municipality is aware of concerns about parking. Neighbors who wanted to comment on this or who saw other concerns, could let employees of the municipality know during the meeting. During the evening, DGW and the municipality also showed the planning of how they will continue working on the plan. Here you can read the report of the evening.
Second meeting June 19, 2024
On June 19th there was another walk-in meeting in the afternoon and evening. DGW showed the preliminary design of the new construction plan and solar drawings (see below under Documents) and furthermore the results of the traffic study in the Landenbuurt could be viewed and the new process planning. Read the report of the afternoon and evening meeting here. The questions that were asked in the first and second meeting are bundled and answered in this document .
Third meeting March 12, 2025
On March 12, 2025, there was a next meeting. De Goede Woning (DGW) showed the adjusted preliminary design of the new construction plan and indicated on which points this plan has been adjusted after the previous participation meetings and the site visit with local residents. Furthermore, there was information about how the municipality wants to organize parking and what the next steps are for the plan. A report of the meeting was made and the questions asked were answered. After this meeting, De Goede Woning will make the final design of the construction plan.
