Parcelling
Basically the maximum size of a parcel is 5,000 m˛. On Oude Molen a large variety in activities is allowed, such as peripheral retail trade (mixed objectives zone), small-scale industrial and craft activities, production and distribution.The major part of the boundary conditions is regulated in the development plan “Oude Molen 2000” and the image quality plan “Oude Molen en Kop van Vijf”. The development plan deals with aspects like permissible environmental categories, construction opportunities and the types of industrial activities that are allowed. The image quality plan indicates the desired town-planning quality. This plan forms the testing framework for the Wellfare/Monument committee (Welstand/Monumenten-Commissie).
There are high image quality demands for zones defining the image such as the A4 front and Eilanden.
Both the development plan and the image quality plan are freely accessible at the municipal office during office hours. Information can also be obtained via the trade desk (bureau Bedrijvigheid).
