Overbetuwe
form together the Overbetuwe region.
There is an
industrial zone with international orientation along the A15 motorway. A plot of 85 hectares net will be
issued here until the year 2020. The area lies to the south of the A15 motorway
and west of Griftdijk.
There is still one cluster left for large-scale retail
trade establishments in Overbetuwe and it is projected somewhere in the
area between Arnhem and Nijmegen. The space that will
be vacant elsewhere will get another designated use. As a result, large-scale
retail trade will be possible only in the inner cities of Arnhem
and Nijmegen or near the Kronenburg city centre
in Arnhem and Dukenburg in Nijmegen.
The agricultural sector will keep its primacy in the region of Overbetuwe,
west of the village
of Elst. Other areas intended
to be used for agricultural purposes in Cool Region are Duivense Broek and an
area west of the village
of Beuningen.
The agricultural sector will reinforce the surrounding landscape while the need
for recreation is also taken into account.
