The plan 

This amendment to the environmental plan follows a ruling by the Administrative Law Division of the Council of State on March 10, 2020. The plan provides for a new usage provision (nitrogen regulation) for plots of land designated for agricultural use.

The plan aims to prevent an increase in nitrogen deposition in surrounding Natura 2000 areas, such as the Korenburgerveen. The plan sets the permitted nitrogen deposition for agricultural businesses in the municipality. In most cases, reference is made to the irrevocable nature permit (issued by the Provincial Executive of Gelderland). For businesses that do not have such a permit, the plan includes a reference date.

Specific regulations have been included for a stable at the location on Velsdijk near no. 6/6a).
