The Draft Decision on the environmental permit for distribution centers Eeneind-West was available for inspection for six weeks from June 24, 2024. During that period the municipality of Nuenen received some 1,500 views from, among others, residents of Geldrop, Mierlo, Nuenen and Heeze. This shows great commitment to this development.

All views were registered upon receipt and then carefully read. The arguments presented were then inventoried. Frequently mentioned arguments are undesirable traffic effects, damage to nature, incorrect assessment against the zoning plan and the relationship with environmental regulations.

The next step is the substantive response to the views. It is possible that this also requires some sorting out. We are giving this our full attention and have freed up extra capacity for this. We expect this process to take at least several months. 

Because more than 250 views were submitted, the submitters will not receive a personal response to their views. The General Administrative Law Act states that the municipality can then suffice with a general publication in the municipal gazette on overheid.nl. We will also publish this publication on the municipal website and in the municipal notices in the door-to-door newspapers.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen expects to make a final decision on the environmental permit later this year.
