Preliminary environment plan Leeuwarden-Buitengebied Zuid
Leeuwarden-Buitengebied Zuid is the first part to receive a new environmental plan. The villages of Grou, Jirnsum and Wergea are not included.
The environmental plan is not ready yet
The mayor and aldermen will make a decision on the Leeuwarden-Buitengebied Zuid environmental plan in the first months of 2024. Then you can give your opinion about it. That’s called having your say. The municipal council will then make a decision on the environmental plan.
Preliminary environment plan
There is already a provisional environmental plan for Leeuwarden-Buitengebied Zuid. This is called a preliminary environment plan. The preliminary environment plan was intended enter into a dialogue with residents and stakeholders. What is good and what could be better?
In 2021, the municipal council adopted the Leeuwarden-Buitengebied Zuid Pre-environmental Plan.
Environmental impact assessment (EIA)
The next step towards the Leeuwarden Buitengebied Zuid Environment Plan is the drafting of the OER. This is a detailed version of the ‘Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)’.
The EIA forms the basis for the final Environment Plan. Together with the preliminary environment plan and the Note on building blocks for the Leeuwarden Buitengebied Zuid Environment Plan.
Scope and Detail Level memorandum (NRD)
The NRD explains what will and will not be reviewed in the EIA. The NRD thus defines the ‘scope’ of the EIA.
It also explains how the research for the OER is conducted. That is how an NRD determines the ‘level of detail’ of the EIA.
Why an NRD?
The City of Leeuwarden opts for an EIA rather than an environmental impact report. This is because of the content of the Environment Plan. It contains more information than a zoning plan. It also explores how health, liveability, socio-economic and agricultural impact can be incorporated into the EIA.
More information can be found in the documents Note on scope and level of detail and the Response Note on the Draft NRD.
