Abstract
This paper reviews the influence of the Dutch Council of States nitrogen emission verdict on infrastructure projects in the Netherlands. It aims to research the different effects on and possible solutions for future infrastructure projects. Since the verdict, permits can no longer be granted for infrastructure projects, when there is not a clear proposition on how the nature is going to be compensated for the emitted nitrogen during the project. As this topic has grown to be very politically sensitive in the Dutch government, the research is conducted through a LexisNexis analysis, analysing how the information is published in the Dutch media. There were six main effects of the nitrogen emission verdict mentioned: effects for the agricultural sector, delay of Lelystad Airport, delay of another infrastructure project, building of new houses or districts, effects for the economy and effects for industrial projects. Six possible solutions were also mentioned; decrease in livestock, change the record of decision, new permit track, recovery of nature, decrease the maximum speed limit and the ADC-test. To conclude, the nitrogen emission verdict of the Dutch Council of State affects infrastructure projects in the Netherlands in a negative way, both time- and cost-wise.
