Residential zoning
The location Hoogcasteren 23 has a residential zoning with specific indication residential farm. There is a long-gabled farmhouse on this location. On the right side of this farm there is a special barn that has fallen into disrepair. This barn is a municipal monument.
At this moment there is one residential zoning for one dwelling, in this case the existing long-gabled farmhouse.

Zoning change
A request in principle has been submitted to divide the long-gabled farmhouse from the barn and to create a 'new' residential function at the location of the culture-historically valuable barn. The existing monumental construction has to be preserved.
The municipality has indicated its willingness to cooperate in principle with the division of the lot and to realize a new residential function at the location of the barn, see above for the division and the two future building areas. To actually implement this change, an amendment to the zoning plan must take place. This procedure is in its final stages.

When realizing a residential function in the barn, the following must be observed:
The existing barn will have to be expanded, because the current volume is not sufficient for a usual size of a dwelling, the expansion should be realized behind the existing barn. This will maintain the austere barn form in its value and limit the view of the extension from the street side;
The strength of the building are the monumental rafters and barn form, this should be preserved as much as possible so that the distinctive architectural features are preserved;
The addition to the rear will be subordinate and will add value to the barn while enhancing the cultural and historic values present;
The development must be provided with landscaping;
An anterior agreement must be concluded with the municipality;
The annex to the existing barn can be demolished, because it detracts from the overall appearance.

How to proceed.
To enable the additional residential function at the location of the barn, a preliminary zoning plan has already been submitted to the municipality of Bladel. A dialogue about the plan has already been held with the surrounding area. The plan has been submitted to the province and the district water board for legal pre-consultation. An anterior agreement has been concluded and the draft zoning plan has been made available for public inspection. Within the framework of such a procedure, the municipal council of Bladel is the competent authority to ultimately adopt the zoning plan. This is the last phase that still needs to happen.
