Marike Vreken Urban and Environmental Planners has been appointed as part of the professional team preparing the Rheenendal Local Area Structure Plan. The aim of the project is to create a strategic planning framework that would be to introduce predictability and, more stability to decisions about development in the Rheenendal Area. It would aim to do so by guiding sustainable trade-offs between appropriate development and maintaining environmental integrity in an area recognised and valued for its natural beauty, sense of place and biodiversity.
All the documents currently available in relation to the plan are available on our downloads page.
