“We ask quite a bit,” project leader Kampen realizes. It is estimated that the working group will meet once every two weeks. “Isn’t this a municipal task?” someone in the room asks. Not according to Kampen: “On the one hand, you are asking for a lot. On the other hand, if the municipality were to do this, I dare say that the plans that are in place cannot count on the approval of the residents.”
According to the project leader, there are already people who may be interested in participating in the working group. The motivational interviews will take place at the end of January. Interested parties must meet a specially drawn up profile.
The entire process is expected to take a year. Then Vitale Vakantieparken hopes to have a broadly supported plan that will bring legal permanent residence closer. The organization will also do a baseline measurement to get an idea of exactly what has been built in the Oosterduinen.
It may happen that buildings are illegal due to the new rules. “That does not immediately mean that people suddenly have to break something down, we are going to measure with a human scale. We leave a margin, but if something is really too big, then we have to do something with it,” says the project leader.
