Ambient Vision- Silence areas

This file contains designated silence areas to prevent or reduce noise pollution in the vision. The province aims to make the best use of the positive effects of silence, low noise levels and the preservation of the diversity of sounds, both in nature areas and in areas in or near the urban environment. This pursuit is linked to the goals for nature, living, recreation and leisure economy.The province has a legal task to take measures for silence. She fills this up by naming silently as the core quality of the Gelders Nature Network and the Green Development Zone. The province has thus abandoned the designation of the eight quiet areas. The Environmental Vision was adopted by Provinciale Staten on 9 July 2014 and became in force in the Environment Ordinance of 24 September 2014 adopted by Provinciale Staten.
