Entrepreneur Bas Pronk of Eenhoorn Evenementen has submitted an initial plan to the municipality of Hoorn for a temporary recreation area on the Schelphoek peninsula, named Buitengewoon aan de Schelphoek. The plan includes glamping tents, motorhome pitches, hospitality, group events, business meetings, team building, training sessions and wedding ceremonies, for a period of at least five years. The municipal executive is in principle willing to cooperate, but no permit has been granted. The current Omgevingsplan does not allow all planned activities: the water is designated as a marina and the land for traffic and stay, so a deviation from the plan is required. Eenhoorn Evenementen must now submit an environmental permit application with supporting documents and necessary studies, including environmental and safety assessments, as well as demonstrate resident participation and regional coordination. A final decision will be taken once all documents and studies are received.
