Overview
- The province agreed with the national government to add nearly a quarter million homes by 2030 and reports about 55,000 completed, mostly the easier projects.
- Permit applications covering roughly 8,000 homes are on hold after recent nitrogen court rulings, with officials noting some developers are holding back new filings.
- An overburdened power grid is stalling delivery, including delays for about 775 homes in Katwijk’s Valkenhorst and a 5,500-home plan in Alphen aan den Rijn.
- Project viability gaps, limited investment capacity at housing corporations, staff shortages and lengthy legal procedures continue to slow or derail builds.
- Zuid-Holland has launched BATMAN, SANE and a ‘Realisatie’ program and recently received roughly €600 million for infrastructure, yet it says cross-ministerial solutions are needed as waits for social rent in the Rotterdam region exceed 52 months with 105,000 active seekers.
