Municipality revises rules regarding access roads in environmental plan
The Municipality of Voorschoten is working on an amendment to the " environmental plan." The amendment applies to the entire municipality of Voorschoten and concerns the rules regarding access points—that is, connections between homes and other buildings and public roads.
The municipality is transferring the rules regarding access roads, which are currently included in the General Local Ordinance (APV), to the new environmental plan. This transition is policy-neutral. This means that the substance of the rules will not change. However, the municipality is adjusting the format so that the rules comply with legal requirements and digital standards. We are also updating any outdated language.

Where in Voorschoten can homes still be built? Can I start a business at this location? Which land is designated for roads and green spaces? The Municipal Spatial Plan ( environmental plan ) consolidates all the rules governing the municipality’s land use. However, the existing plan is temporary and incomplete. That is why the municipality is working on a final Municipal Spatial Plan ( environmental plan). Read more at www.voorschoten.nl/environmental plan.
