3. Development site 'Ruysdaelstraat 2'; response to letter from housing association 'thuis' dated January 29, 2021 / John Frenken
In 2020, development of the Ruysdaelstraat 2 site commenced. The 'thuis' housing association was asked to draw up an urban development plan in collaboration with the municipality, based on the established 'preconditions and principles'. A first draft plan was discussed in November 2020 and a response was provided on January 11, 2021. The first draft plan did not meet the 'preconditions and principles'. In its letter of January 29, 2021, the 'thuis housing association asked for a response to a number of substantive issues. The questions from the 'thuis housing association are answered in this advice. After consultation with Woonstichting 'thuis, Stg. Doorpakken Wonen considers the first draft plan to be a given. This is in view of the invitation sent by the foundation to prospective residents, parents, and members of the municipal council to attend an information evening on March 25, 2021, to discuss this matter. It is recommended that Stg. Doorpakken Wonen be consulted as soon as possible in order to keep expectations regarding the planning for the Ruysdaelstraat location on track.

4. Implementation of the 'Son en Breugel Housing Regulation 2020-2023': 'tenant at the helm' / John Frenken
On December 19, 2019, the municipal council adopted the "Son en Breugel Housing Regulation 2020-2023," specifically for the urgency component. This regulation came into effect on January 1, 2020. The other municipalities in the Eindhoven Urban Area (SGE) have adopted the same Housing Regulation. This means that a uniform urgency scheme is in force throughout the SGE. An important change in these Housing Regulations 2020-2023 compared to the previous regulations from 2016 is that urgent house hunters are given the opportunity to respond to housing offers themselves, putting the 'tenant in the driver's seat'. The Housing Regulation leaves it up to the municipal executive to determine when this element, as included in Article 6, paragraph 9 of the regulation, will take effect (see Article 16 of the regulation). In the SGE context, it has been agreed to submit this to all nine councils of the SGE municipalities concerned in a uniform manner. This proposal aims to bring Article 6, paragraph 9 of the 'Son en Breugel Housing Regulation 2020-2023' into effect.
College Decision:
- take note of the impact of the aspect 'tenant in control';
- that Article 6, paragraph 9 of the ‘Son en Breugel Housing Regulation 2020-2023’ will enter into force on March 1, 2021.
5. Business park development day February 24, 2021 / Jan Boersma
A Development Day is organized twice a year for each region in North Brabant. During a Development Day, agreements are made between the municipalities, the province, and the water boards. These agreements may have legal consequences, for example for zoning plans (yet to be developed). The programming of the business parks was postponed again during the Southeast Brabant Development Day on December 17, 2020; the topic had already been on the agenda for December 19, 2019, and June 21, 2020. Because further postponement is not an option, it has been decided to organize an additional, separate Development Day for the business parks. The relevant documents will be submitted to the council.
The council takes note of the agenda and documents for the extra Business Park Development Day on February 24, 2021.

7. Request for exemption from opening hours for Albert Heijn April 2, 2021 / Jan Boersma
Albert Heijn in Son en Breugel has requested an exemption from the opening hours on Good Friday, April 2, 2021. The Shop Hours Ordinance specifies when the municipal executive is authorized to grant exemptions from the opening hours. The Shop Hours Regulation does not apply to Good Friday. This means that the municipal executive cannot grant an exemption for extended opening hours on Good Friday.
The council decides not to grant an exemption for extending the opening hours of the Albert Heijn supermarket in Son en Breugel on April 2, 2021 (Good Friday).
8. Application for the Bombing Compensation Scheme / John Frenken

- not to cooperate with Cordeel's request to make use of the Bombing Compensation Scheme;
- Inform Cordeel of this by letter.
8. Sale of land Prodrive Science Park 5055 5057 / Jan Boersma
Prodrive has applied for an environmental permit for the construction of new business premises at Science Park 5055/5057. Prodrive has requested to purchase approximately 159 m² from the municipality for the construction of these new premises. The land will actually be purchased by J.V. Beheer B.V.

9. Cooperation agreement Climate Portal Southeast Brabant 2021-2027 / Jan Boersma
On December 31, 2020, the Water Portal Southeast Brabant cooperation agreement expired. The regional cooperation has led to cost savings, development, and exchange of knowledge, capacity, and services in the field of urban water management. One example is a joint project with the Dommel Water Authority to monitor the overflow frequency of peripheral facilities. During the term of the agreement, the focus of the network organization broadened from the efficient management of the wastewater chain to the entire water chain and the urban water system. The network organization intends to continue the collaboration by concluding a new, broader cooperation agreement: Climate Portal Southeast Brabant 2021–2027.
