A sustainable future

Buitenplaats Beekhuizen and WOODZ

In the Beekhuizen district, you'll find a variety of recreational facilities, including Buitenplaats Beekhuizen and the WOODZ restaurant. We would like to inform you about our needs and ideas for sustainability and improvement. This page will be updated and supplemented as news becomes available.

Sustainable steps

Replace facilities

For our future, it is necessary to replace the existing facility buildings. The reception, restaurant and linen room are in need of renovation. Sustainability is paramount to us, with a focus on nature, landscape and design. Furthermore, for the restaurant, we want to retain our neighbourhood function and welcome local residents and passers-by on foot or by bicycle. Curious about how we want to become even more sustainable, and the steps we have already taken? Then click the button below.

A sustainable future

Keep existing accommodations

In the future, the number of accommodations will be limited to 50 units. The requested permit is necessary for the so-called ‘confirmation’ of the current use (initially licensed for 10 years), meaning for retaining the existing number of accommodations. When these accommodations need replacement, this will be subject to clear conditions via the permit, and the atmosphere will be preserved.

Spatial procedure

Permits

In March ’26, the municipal council approved the publication of the draft permit for permanent planning integration. Following publication, there was a period during which objections could be submitted. This period has now concluded, and we are awaiting the municipality’s decision to grant the permit. A long and thorough process preceded the municipal council’s approval:

  • A permit for permanent spatial integration was applied for with the municipality in February ’23.
  • At the end of March ’23, this application was withdrawn and a new, integrated permit for the spatial procedure was applied for.
  • In February ’24, we received a request for amendment, after which we submitted the new documents in October ’24.
  • At the beginning of January 2026, with one final adjustment, the final documents were submitted to the council.

The nature permits were applied for by our ecological consultancy to the province in February ’23. One nature permit has since been granted and is irrevocable. For the other nature permit, a draft decision has been in place since the end of January ’26. We are now awaiting the further processing of this permit.

Sustainable designs

Replacement facilities

Curious about the impressions of the replacement facilities buildings? You can view them next door. Sustainability, small-scale design, user needs, and careful integration into the landscape were paramount in creating the designs. In our landscape vision, you can read about the principles that led to the designs. You can also read our newsletters next door.
