Nota parkeernormen Heiloo 2025 – Municipal Parking Standards and Regulations
The Nota parkeernormen Heiloo 2025 is the official regulatory framework issued by the Gemeente Heiloo (Netherlands) for calculating parking demand for cars and bicycles. Valid from 31 December 2024, this document serves as the primary spatial assessment tool for new construction, renovations, and transformation projects where a change in function affects parking requirements. It updates the previous 2022 edition to align with the latest CROW (Centrum voor Regelgeving en Onderzoek in de Grond-, Water- en Wegenbouw) core figures from 2023 and 2024.
The regulation governs various regulatory domains including residential, commercial, retail, healthcare, and educational sectors. It classifies the municipality of Heiloo as matig stedelijk (moderately urban) and divides the territory into four specific zones: Centrum, Schil, Rest bebouwde kom, and Buitengebied. The document provides detailed annexes, including Bijlage 3 Autoparkeernormen (Car Parking Standards) and Bijlage 6 Fietsparkeernormen (Bicycle Parking Standards), alongside calculation methods for Parkeerdruk (parking pressure) and Aanwezigheidspercentages (presence percentages).
The following sections detail the legal application of these standards, the methodology for determining parking requirements, and the specific conditions under which developers may deviate from standard calculations through mobility corrections or financial settlements.
Legal Framework and Definitions
The document operates within the wider context of the Algemene wet bestuursrecht (Awb) and the municipal bestemmingsplan Parapluplan Parkeren. It defines three central concepts used to establish compliance:
- Parkeernorm: A fixed value indicating the number of parking spaces required per 100 square meters or per unit of use.
- Parkeerbalans: A calculation accounting for specific target groups and double-use of spaces during different times of the day.
- Parkeereis: The final number of spaces mandated for a project, determined by the parking balance and available capacity forms.
Section 2.3 outlines the Afwijkingsbevoegdheid (deviation authority), allowing the municipality to deviate from standard requirements if strict application would lead to disproportionate hardship. A transitional arrangement in Section 2.4 specifies that applications submitted before this document's effective date are governed by the 2022 standards unless the 2025 norms are more favorable to the applicant.
Application Framework and Mobility Corrections
The calculation of the final parking requirement follows a six-step process, ranging from determining normative demand to final allocation. A significant component of this process is the Mobiliteitscorrectie (mobility correction) described in Section 4.2:
- Max 20% reduction: Developers may reduce the normative requirement by a maximum of 20% if they provide a substantiated mobility concept.
- Underpinnings: Reductions can be based on proximity to public transport, the provision of shared mobility (deelmobiliteit), or evidence that the development will not increase parking pressure.
- Spatial Reservation: Any corrected demand must be 100% accounted for through a spatial reservation, ensuring that if the mobility concept fails, parking can still be facilitated.
Allocation Hierarchy and Offsetting
Priority is given to Parkeren op eigen terrein (parking on own terrain). Projects utilizing this must be recorded in the POET1 overview, which disqualifies occupants from future public parking permits. If on-site parking is impossible, the following alternatives apply:
- Private facilities: Use of unused private parking capacity within acceptable walking distances (e.g., 100 meters for residential functions).
- Afkoopregeling (Buy-off scheme): A financial contribution to the municipal parking fund if public space must be utilized, provided that parking pressure remains below 85%.
- Salderen (Offsetting): In cases of function changes, the parking demand of the previous legal use (active within the last five years) may be subtracted from the new requirement.
Bicycle Parking and Qualitative Requirements
Bicycle parking is mandatory for all functions except residential housing, where internal storage (berging) is typically sufficient under the Bouwverordening. For non-residential developments, the following applies:
- Quality Standards: Racks must ideally meet FietsParKeur standards to prevent damage and theft.
- Location: Facilities must be located as close as possible to the entrance and within the line of sight of users.
- Visitor norms: Specific visitor parking norms for bicycles apply to housing and apartments where on-site visitor space is lacking.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the urban classification for Heiloo in this document?
Heiloo is classified as matig stedelijk (moderately urban), with an address density between 1,000 and 1,500 addresses per square kilometer.
What is the maximum reduction allowed via a mobility concept?
The municipality allows a maximum correction of 20% on the normative parking demand if a mobility concept is substantiated and spatially reserved.
What is the acceptable walking distance for residential parking?
The standard acceptable walking distance for residents is 100 meters, while for visitors it ranges between 100 and 250 meters.
How is parking demand handled when a building's function changes?
The principle of salderen (offsetting) applies, where the parking demand of the previous legal use from the last five years is subtracted from the new demand.
Are visitors included in the residential car parking norms?
Yes, the parking norms for housing in Annex 3 include a visitor component, which varies by zone (e.g., 0.1 for the Center and 0.2 for Rural areas).
What happens if on-site parking is not feasible?
Applicants may use the afkoopregeling (buy-off scheme) to pay into a parking fund, provided they prove public parking pressure will stay under 85%.
Which technical standard is used for qualitative parking requirements?
The document references NEN 2443 for car parking facilities and ASVV guidelines for public space design.
How are parking requirements calculated for a GP practice?
For a huisartsenpraktijk, the parking demand is calculated per treatment room (behandelkamer), ranging from 2.1 in the Center to 3.3 in Rural areas.
