Construction of 40 new homes in Gorredijk begins
The shovel can go into the ground: the construction of 40 new rental homes in Gorredijk is about to begin. The municipality is pleased that after a completed objection procedure, the way is clear to realize the houses on the Rindert van Zinderen Bakkerstrjitte and the Geert van der Zwaagstrjitte. With the construction, another important step is taken to build one thousand new homes in Opsterland until 2035.
On March 5, 2025, the college granted the permit for the construction of the homes. Two objections to this decision were received on April 8, 2025. A hearing was held on June 25, 2025 on this matter. Thereafter, the objections committee (BCO) issued its opinion to the college. The committee concluded that the objections are not grounds to revoke or modify the permit.
Alderman Marcel van Opzeeland: "The municipality is bliid that the construction of 40 houses on De Gordyk can now be completed. Beswieren tsjin bouprojekten kinne jierren fertraging opsmite. This bouprojekt can now wer trochgean, because the beswierproseduere is ready. Or it moast wêze dat de beswiermakkers nei de rjochter stappe, dan moatte wy nog langer wachtensje op de nije wenten. Oant 2035 komme der yn Opsterlân tûzen nije wenningen by. It is wichtich om dit tempo fêst hâlden, sadat safolle mooglik ynwenners gau in passend en noflik wenplak fine kinne."
