Lelystad withdraws proposal for caravan locations
◆1 source
Lelystad alderman Emiel van der Herberg withdrew a proposal to investigate a lawn on the Bosweg as a location for 16 caravans, after the municipal council criticized the plan. The original proposal also examined the Houttuinen area in Beukenhof for a total of 38 caravans. The college of mayor and aldermen will return with a revised proposal covering the Bosweg, Zuiderhage, De Akkers and other possible locations. The council had asked for more clarity on how the locations were selected and had raised concerns about the impact on allotment gardens and existing residents near the Vaartweg trailer site.
The college will continue work on an area vision for Houttuinen and says it will involve local residents and other stakeholders in the process. Parties on the council also called for Zuiderhage and De Akkers to be considered, while some argued that the Bosweg was inconsistent with an earlier decision against housing in the Noordzoom area. A follow-up study of the Bosweg had been budgeted at €107,000, but the proposal was withdrawn before a final decision on the locations was requested.
