Environmental Vision

In the Environmental Vision, we outline what the municipality will look like in the future. Denk , the way we want to live in the future, how we want to age healthily, how our children can play carefree, and how we get around.

Why an environmental vision?

Beautiful Tytsjerksteradiel is our municipality and we are proud of it! We are economical with our DNA and strong base, at the same time we want to improve Tytsjerksteradiel. The question is what our municipality should look like in 20 years. What developments are coming our way and how do we respond to them? What wishes do we ourselves have for the physical living environment? And how will we achieve this together?

These questions underlie the environmental vision. This is a vision that we prepared together with our residents and involved organizations. It outlines our ambitions for the spatial development of Tytsjerksteradiel until 2040. Strong ambitions to keep our municipality beautiful.

We need this vision to chart a course and assess initiatives. But, who decides whether an initiative is a good idea? It is logical that not everything can go everywhere. However, the environmental vision should not close off everything. That is why this environmental vision has a different approach than the traditional structure visions that have been made in the Netherlands in recent years: clear about what we want to achieve, without laying down exactly which functions are possible where. We want to build in flexibility and thus be able to respond to developments and needs.

With the environmental vision, we are preparing for the new approach of the Omgevingswet. We will need to regularly review the goals we are pursuing. Are they still relevant, or are there new developments we need to respond to? In the latter case, those parts of the environmental vision may need to be revised. We are constantly monitoring the situation and will adjust the vision as the future demands.
