NL TimesBy the end of 2024, the construction of around 115,000 homes had been postponed or canceled, largely because of objection procedures, trade association WoningbouwersNL told the Telegraaf. The organization to which most Dutch project developers and construction entrepreneurs are affiliated want politicians to make filing a complaint against a construction project less profitable by holding the objector liable for the damage caused. Not only that of the developer, but also of the future residents.” The organization also wants the government to ban financial buy-out arrangements that have not been determined by the court. The organization expects the market to remain good in the coming years thanks ot the growing economy, rising wages, falling interest rates, and “increasingly extreme” housing shortage.
