AABENRAA: When the finance committee in Aabenraa meets on Tuesday, politicians will be presented with a report from negotiation meetings between the municipality and the port, which should enable housing on an area called Nord for Kilen, alongside continued activity from the port's companies.
It appears from the agenda for the finance committee meeting that after three negotiation meetings and feedback from the port, "a picture emerges that there is currently no basis for continuing the negotiations."
The feedback from the port's negotiating delegation has been that the port's customers do not want further permanent restrictions on their port operations or operating hours. The companies also do not want to have to contribute to financing solutions that can realize the establishment of housing on the area.
To TVSyd, director of SDK Shipping Lars Jespersen says on behalf of the port's companies that they have nothing against housing coming, as long as they can coexist with the port.
- We are really just relying on the committee, which concluded that a potential developer/municipality should be responsible for the preventive measures that are necessary to have an active port and a residential area. And I think it is difficult to find each other there, he says.
The negotiations between the municipality and the port have taken place since the spring, including based on a report on environmental consequences that was prepared on the recommendation of the Section 17, paragraph 4 committee "The future of the area north of Kilen".
A subsequent schedule included, among other things, a discussion with the affected companies in relation to their options for reducing environmental impacts such as noise from ships.
The study and the subsequent report were delivered by the consulting architectural and engineering company Sweco. The report also includes the possibility of placing two buffer zone elements and a museum in the northern part of Nyhavn.
