Environmental Vision
On January 1, 2024, the Environment Act came into force. This new law requires municipalities to adopt a new environmental vision within three years, and together with its inhabitants. That environmental vision deals with the living environment and describes.
- the outlines of the quality of the living environment;
- the outline of the proposed development, use, management, protection and preservation of the Aalten territory;
- the main points of the integrated policy to be pursued for the living environment (which involves not only space, but also health and safety).
In the period from September 2024 to March 2025, the municipality of Aalten will enter into discussions with its residents about the living environment, and how to both better protect and make better use of it in the future. This will be done area by area and in three consecutive rounds of talks, divided over twelve subareas of Aalten.
Based on the results of all these talks, a draft environmental vision will then be made, which will be made available for inspection in mid-2025. The goal is to have the new environmental vision adopted by the city council in the fall of 2025.
