Dutch term

regelluwe zone

Dutch to English Social Sciences Economics economic policy
"De gemeente zal een proef nemen met een 'regelluwe' zone, voor een winkelgebied waar veel panden leegstaan."

I'm translating a text in which there is reference to a 'regelluwe zone'. Something similar can be found here: http://www.parool.nl/binnenland/experiment-met-regelluw-wink... Is there anything similar in Anglo countries yet? I'm sure there is, but need to figure out a term to start my terminological search. Assistance would be most appreciated.

(*blush*) Well, don't I feel silly first thing in the morning over here. Missed a step in basic terminology. Sorry for bothering you, folks.

De gemeente zal een proef nemen met een 'regelluwe' zone, voor een winkelgebied waar veel panden leegstaan. Het stadsbestuur geeft daarmee gevolg aan een voorstel van VVD-fractievoorzitter Marja Ruigrok.

@CS ... but can a local government use 'loosely regulated area(s)'...

unstrict district(s) ;-)

Hi Robert, it seems to me that the term you are looking for is 'loosely regulated'.

less-stricter law policy area/zone

The article writes about a shopping area or shopping street, due to recession and internet shopping many stores/shops are empty. The community is restricted by the zoning plan. The "regelluwe zone" makes it possible to "un-restrict" zones, so shops can now be turn in to apartments or have other zoning plans.

Bedankt, Arend. Alleen de periode van 24 uur was al voorbij en er had niemand toen 'officieel' antwoord opgegeven. Writeaway deed dat wel, maar ik kon toen geen punten toewijzen. Groet, R.
