Abstract
Als gevolg van de 'Reconstructiewet
concentratiegebieden intensieve veehouderij' worden in vijf provincies
reconstructieplannen gemaakt. Het doel is een nieuw evenwicht te bereiken
tussen de verschillende functies in het landelijk gebied. Op basis van
literatuur en interviews wordt een aantal conclusies getrokken over
inhoudelijke, juridische of bestuurlijke aspecten bij de planontwikkeling in
de reconstructiegebieden. Uit het onderzoek komt de indruk naar voren dat
betrokken partijen op hoofdlijnen de plannen onderschrijven. De wet
schrijft voor het gebied ruimtelijk te differentieren in
landbouwontwikkelingsgebieden, verwevingsgebieden en extensiveringsgebieden.
Door deze nadruk op zonering krijgen andere mogelijke oplossingsrichtingen
voor de problemen met intensieve veehouderij minder aandacht. In Limburg en
Noord-Brabant worden bestaande, maar ongebruikte, planologische rechten
gerespecteerd in de extensiveringsgebieden; er verandert niets aan de
bestaande situatie zoals vastgelegd in streekplannen. De oorspronkelijke
ambities in de extensiveringsgebieden zijn bijgesteld, nadat zowel het Rijk
als de provincies huiverig bleken om planschade te betalen. Het aanwijzen
van varkensvrije zones is een verplichting vanuit de wet, maar informanten
zijn zeer sceptisch over het nut ervan. Een nauwere samenwerking tussen
boeren en aanleverende en verwerkende industrie in de keten zou de
veterinaire kwetsbaarheid kunnen verminderen, maar hiertoe worden geen
aanzetten gedaan in de plannen. Het Rijk toetst de plannen achteraf volgens
een gedetailleerd kader en stelt vervolgens geld ter beschikking. Op
gebiedsniveau wordt weinig ruimte gevoeld voor eigen invulling. Vanwege een
nadere prioritering van beleidsdoelen en de ontwikkeling van relevante
(milieu-) regelgeving gedurende het planproces, hadden betrokken partijen
weinig duidelijkheid op voorhand. De nadruk op doelbereik, vanuit
subsidieregelingen, leidt tot risicovrij plannen.
Rural areas on the move? Substantive, executive and legal aspects of progress in reconstruction of intensive livestock farming. Five provinces in the Netherlands are formulating plans in response to the Dutch legislation for 'reconstruction of areas engaged in intensive livestock farming'. The purpose of this legislation is to reach a new balance between various functions in the rural areas. In the current report conclusions are drawn regarding plan development, based on literature and a series of interviews with parties involved in the planning process. The study gives the impression that parties involved subscribe to the plans, there is support. This legislation stipulates differentiation between areas where agriculture can develop, areas where various functions are intertwined and areas for extensifying agricultural activities. The emphasis by law on zoning results in less attention being paid to other possible solutions for problems related tot intensive livestock farming. In the provinces of Noord-Limburg and Noord-Brabant, existing but unused planological rights remain valid in the extensification zones; so there is no change compared to the existing situation as laid down in regional plans. The initial ambitions in the extensification zones were adjusted, after both the central government and the provinces appeared hesitant to pay for damage caused by earlier planning. The designation of pig-free zones free is an obligation by law, however, the informers are sceptical about the benefits. Although stronger co-operation between farmers and their supply and purchase companies could diminish the veterinary vulnerability, no initiatives have been taken to this effect in the plans. The central government will assess the plans according to a detailed framework and decide for financing, after the provinces have drawn up the plans. This will leave little room for interpretation by provinces themselves. Due to developments in relevant environmental laws and re-prioritising policy goals, parties involved had little certainty beforehand. The emphasis on realising targets will lead to risk-free planning.
