The municipality confirms that suspicion. “Although we regret that the ruling of the Council of State is negative, the ruling also contains sufficient starting points for realizing a definitive beach pavilion.”
The spokesperson explains that the municipality is working towards the beach pavilion along two routes. In addition to the temporary pavilion – which the Council of State canceled yesterday – the municipality is also aiming for a permit for a permanent pavilion.
“Agreements have been made about this with the province. The province is in the process of amending the environmental regulation so that the piece of land where the pavilion will be located no longer falls within the NNN. Then there is no longer a conflict with the provincial rules.”
Response from the beach pavilion initiator
Initiator Jan Geesink has not yet read the judgment and therefore cannot comment on its contents. “It is special that a party that was also at the table in 2014 when we made the plans, can still stop it,” he shares with NH.
Geesink acknowledges that after the Council of State there is no longer any possibility of appeal. “You have to respect that,” he emphasizes. Yet he cannot say with certainty whether the verdict also means a definitive end to his plans.
