Under the Safety Regions Act (Wvr), every safety region is required to draw up a regional policy plan. The plan sets out the policy with regard to the tasks of the safety region.
The Joint Arrangement for the Brabant-Zuidoost Safety Region 2024 (GR VRBZO 2024) includes a consultation procedure for the Regional Policy Plan to be adopted. At the meeting of the VRBZO General Board on December 17, 2025, the draft Regional Policy Plan 2027-2030 VRBZO was adopted and released for consultation. For information and consideration, VRBZO also sent the 2027 Framework Memorandum to the council.

On November 23, 2023, the municipal council decided that it would have an advisory role in the informal process phase if there was a deviation from the environmental vision or environmental plan and if there was a BOPA procedure involving the addition of 26 or more homes.
On December 11, 2025, an advisory session was held with the municipal council on the preconditions and principles for the redevelopment site at Veerstraat 21-19-15 and Stakenburgstraat 18. This advice has been incorporated into the now final proposed 'preconditions and principles'.

5. Adoption of amendment to Son en Breugel environmental plan, first amendment Breeakker northern section

On April 20, 2023, the municipal council established a right of first refusal on plots in Breeakker (northern section). This right of first refusal expires on April 19, 2026. In order to extend the right of first refusal (beyond April 19, 2026), so that the municipality can retain control over future developments in this area, it is necessary for the municipal council to adopt a resolution by April 19, 2026, at the latest, to amend the 'Son en Breugel municipal environmental plan, first amendment to Breeakker-northern section'. If this decision is not taken or is not taken in time, the right of first refusal will lapse.
On October 7, 2025, your council decided to release the 'draft amendment to the environmental plan for the municipality of Son en Breugel, first amendment to the northern part of Breeakker' for the period of opinions from October 10, 2025, to November 20, 2025. The consultation period yielded 130 opinions.
In addition to a summary of the opinions, the memorandum of opinions also contains the response/reply. Officially requested amendments have also been put forward. Proposals for amendments to the 'draft amendment to the environmental plan for the municipality of Son en Breugel, first amendment to the northern part of Breeakker' are indicated in the memorandum of opinions.
These amendments have been incorporated into the 'Amendment to the Son en Breugel municipal environmental plan, first amendment to the northern part of Breeakker'. To complete the process, the 'statement of opinions' and the 'amendment to the environmental plan for the municipality of Son en Breugel, first amendment to the northern part of Breeakker' must be submitted to the municipal council for approval. After the council's approval decision, the appeal procedure will be initiated.
