An informal care home has been built on the Olen 7a/7m property. This is not permitted under the zoning plan regulations. The maximum square footage for outbuildings has been exceeded. It is now proposed to Requirements from the zoning plan under Requirements .

The municipal executive has decided to grant approval for a deviation from the environmental plan for Olen 7a/7m through an off-plan environmental plan activity (BOPA) and under the following Requirements:

For many years, the Wolfswinkel Cemetery Foundation has managed the cemetery and funeral services in our municipality. This responsibility has now been taken over by Respectrum Son en Breugel BV, which operates the new crematorium and cemetery. The foundation has requested that the municipality forgive the portion of the loan that it is unable to repay.

The municipal executive decides:

6. Adopt green gray management plan

The Green-Gray Management Plan is a follow-up to the *Basis in Beeld* report. The management plan provides a practical and comprehensive implementation of the 2021 Green Policy Document. It includes agreements regarding the management of public green spaces, playgrounds, and paved areas. The guiding principle is to create a good living environment. The management plan aims for a clean, intact, and safe Son en Breugel, with a focus on healthy, biodiverse, and climate-resilient public spaces. An integrated approach to green, gray, and other disciplines—such as sewer systems and traffic—forms the basis for optimal management.

The municipal executive decides:

  1. Adopt the Green-Gray Management Plan 2025-2035;
  2. Adopt the text on the Green-Gray Management Plan and include it in the next council information letter.

These results are now known.
