Municipality of Voorne aan Zee temporarily Voorne aan Zee attendance on property

The Voorne aan Zee municipal council Voorne aan Zee adopted new policy rules to temporarily allow additional occupancy on the property. This is called "occupancy" and offers families under Requirements living space on their own plot of land.

More and more families are asking to live together on one property. Until now, this was not permitted under the environmental plan. With these new rules, the municipality wants to better support housing needs. In addition to large housing projects, the municipality is also focusing on the smart use of existing space.

The rules for attendance set clear Requirements, such as a family relationship between the residents and spatial requirements, for example parking standards and maximum surface area.

In addition, other measures are already in place to make better use of the housing stock. For example, informal care homes can already be built. Since 2025, it has also been possible to build a 'pre-informal care home'. This is a home for informal care that can be built before the Health is Health needed.

In 2024, a policy was also introduced that allows larger homes to be divided. This means that large houses can be split into two smaller, affordable homes. This is particularly useful for first-time buyers and smaller households.

Alderman Jan Spoon (Housing): "With these additional measures, we are creating more suitable housing alongside regular housing construction. Of course, this will not solve all housing problems, but every little bit helps."
