Do you want to start or change something in the outlying area? Buitengebied met Perspectief (BmP) is the municipality's approach to the countryside. This approach helps you get started and provides clarity on what is possible, what support is available and what steps are appropriate for your plan.
The outlying area is the area outside village centers, with agricultural yards, homes and businesses.

What is rural area with perspective

Buitengebied met Perspectief is the new course for the outlying area. The municipality chooses an approach that moves with the developments in the area. Companies change or stop, buildings become vacant and space is created for new functions such as nature, recreation or housing. The approach brings everything together in one clear line: Buitengebied met Perspectief. Not as separate rules but as one package with which you can proceed immediately. This is how we keep the countryside vital, attractive and future-proof.

For whom is this intended?

Buitengebied met Perspectief is there for anyone with a plan in the outlying area such as:

  • Farmers who want to continue, renew or stop their business
  • Entrepreneurs in or around the area
  • Residents who want to change something on their property or in their area
  • Owners of vacant buildings
  • And all other Initiators with an idea that fits in the outlying area

What does this offer you?

  • Clarity about the possibilities for your plan
  • Quicker insight into what is promising
  • One overview of rules, conditions and choices
  • One permanent contact at the municipality
  • Support in exploring options
