Here in this ecological gardenpark inhabitants connect and grow their own food. Gardening is developed on the principles of permaculture. Besides allotments, there is also a collective part of the garden where food is grown for all members of Tuinpark Laakzijde and even for (if available) a few restaurants. Laakzijde also developed a nature playground for children in this district.<\/p>\n<p>The allotment gardens do not fit 1:1 into the agricultural zone. Direct neighbours feared inconvenience and asked the municipality to maintain the rules. Because the gardenpark fits into the vision for Vathorst North, a future recreational outlet area, Amersfoort displays is a temporary license for 5 years.\u00a0 The license includes conditions are made in consultation with the direct neighbours. Amersfoort is now actively looking for a new permanent place for garden park in Vathorst North. We review our policy on allotments and urban agriculture, which lacked the last 20 years in the new districts.<\/p>\n<p>Question: How do other municipalities deal with initiatives that do not fit in the destination \/ regulations?<\/p>\n<p>More information on:\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laakzijde.nl\/\">http:\/\/www.laakzijde.nl\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August, 2013 Contributor:\u00a0Houkje Hibma,\u00a0Amersfoort In the new district Vathorst inhabitants created \u201ctuinpark Laakzijde\u201d at the border of a agricultural and recreational area.
