Enforcement request

The Lonnekerland foundation has requested the municipality of Enschede to take enforcement action against the realisation of the Spottershill because the construction would not take place according to legal requirements. The municipality of Enschede rejected this request on 4 June as the construction meets all requirements. 

Questions have also been raised from the Enschede city council and the Overijssel provincial council about the land displacements. These questions were recently answered by the municipal council and the Overijssel provincial executive. These answers to the council and state questions, can be found on the website of the municipality of Enschede. The rejection of the enforcement request can be viewed here.

Nitrogen emissions

The Lonnekerland foundation fears that the work is causing unauthorised nitrogen emissions. This is not the case. The Technology Base project organisation has had an AERIUS calculation made of the nitrogen emissions from the works. The outcome is that the nitrogen emissions are nil and therefore have no effect on the nearby N2000 areas, so no Nature Conservation Act permit is needed either. The work specification for the calculation of this study can be viewed here.
