“The rule has not been to build higher than 12 meters for fifty years. There has always been low -rise buildings and then they now want to go with a pen region up to 25 meters. In addition to the discussion about nitrogen and nature reserve, it is going to take years before they That realized here, because here in De Meent that plan encounters a lot of resistance, “said a resident of the Hilversumse Meent.
The discussion about the possible new building to be realized on the site of the Kruisdam neighborhood center, Youth Center Web035 and Sporthal De Meent is recovering again. Democrats Hilversum (DH) is conducting a balloon test. A white and an orange helium balloon have to go into the air 25 meters to show how high that actually is.
Balloon test
The idea is good. The action of the coalition party leads to viewers and to mutual conversations about the much -discussed municipal plan. The implementation of the balloon test is less. Because there is too much wind, the balloons do not make enough height. They blow away to the side.
Fortunately, the two drones that do come to the right height provide images and information that the party can continue with. For DH party chairman Rob Docter, it is especially important that there is ‘good new construction at this location that fits within the neighborhood’. Then it is important that the height is well insightful.
Environment full of emotion
That the ‘environment is full of emotion,’ as Docter says, it appears during the test with the balloons. Of all the bystanders who speak NH this afternoon, no one is against new construction. After all, the housing shortage is huge. New construction is fine in itself, but not twice as high as in the 51 years that the Meent exists is allowed.
