City Council Makes the Draft Implementation Plan for Starrenburg III Available for Public Review

Starrenburg III Development Plan. The gray areas will be roads, the green areas will be public green spaces, and the blue areas will be water. The yellow areas are designated for residential use, surrounded by gardens shown in light green.

“We’ve been looking forward to this milestone for a long time,” says Alderman Hans van der Elst. “We now have a draft implementation plan. As the design team consisting of De Raad Bouw, Niersman Project Development, and our city officials, we’ve been able to take this step together. Thanks also to the Rijnland Water Board, especially as water conservation and climate-friendly design are demanding more and more attention. On to the next milestone!”

Obligation to Provide Details

In the Voorschoten Oost zoning plan, the city council has included a requirement to develop a detailed plan for the Starrenburg III area. This means that the municipal executive is authorized to adopt a detailed plan. According to the draft plan, 356 housing units will be built, ranging from public housing and row houses to semi-detached homes and detached villas.
