Nudist beach Delftse Hout
Delft Wood closed? That never!
In 2013, the municipality of Delft decided to open the nudist beach in the Delftse Hout to be formally closed.
The visitors of the nudist beach did not resign themselves to this decided and protested en masse. After two lawsuits, all suspects in the Delft Blootloop case acquitted. It The Public Prosecution Service could not convince the judge that the Delftse Hout is unsuitable for undressed recreation. Because the Public Prosecution Service did win the case on form points in cassation, it had to be higher profession about. On January 18, the judge ruled and again was acquitted. It seems (unless the Public Prosecution Service re-in cassation goes) that this has now really come to an end dragging case.
Read the whole story below. The most recent posts are at the top.
18-01-2017: The Public Prosecution Service goes for the second time wet; all suspects in the Delft Blootloop case have been acquitted.
The judge has ruled that there is insufficient legal and convincing evidence that the Delftse Hout at the time of the indictment (nude recreation on July 23, 2013) was not suitable for unclothed recreation. In the statement expressly points out that the time is important when assessing suitability for nude recreation.
On the day in question, there were 25 . on the (former) nudist beach nude recreationists and about ten clothed persons in the immediate environment present. At tens of meters were were about 500 dressed persons present. What the verbal does not state is that it was a fantastic sun-drenched summer day with a temperature of around 30 degrees. Similar to 7/08/2013 when Google took the photo below; peak crowds in the Delftse Wood. The conclusion is that the Delftse Hout certainly also at large crowds are suitable for nude recreation.
The judge has mainly taken into account that the former nudist beach has been used for nude recreation for about 30 years and that, despite new residential areas in the area, little has changed in the circumstances. Every Delft resident knows that there it is nudist beach and the area is large enough so that textile holidaymakers are not forced to stay close to it nude beach recreation.
The judge does appreciate wearing shorts when using the shared toilet.
It is not yet known whether the Public Prosecution Service will appeal against this ruling. read here the full statement.

Rob Meerwijk's response to this article.
08-12-2015: The Supreme Court has determined today that the acquittal for nudist recreation Delftse Hout has to be transferred. The judge is of the opinion that the court has been short-sighted, by stating that only if a place is obviously unsuitable for nude recreation, there is of violation of the law. (article 430a DCC).
The specific facts and circumstances of the case, such as those are included in the case file have not been taken into account sufficiently, at the discretion of the judge.
The Public Prosecution Service thinks that the Delftse Hout is in the loop over the years has turned into a city park, in which there is no more room is for nude recreation. Also the fact that the part for nude recreation seamlessly transitions into the textile beach area would make the area unsuitable for nudist recreation.
It is remarkable that the alleged sexual nuisance, which the mayor took to close the nudist beach, not in the cassation case has been raised.
It is not yet clear when the case will be heard again.

Response from the Public Prosecution Service to the question from nudestrandje.nl regarding cassation in the Delft Blootloop case:
"It is true that the Public Prosecution Service (OM) has appealed in cassation set. The Public Prosecution Service believes that the Court of Appeal, by state that there is only a violation of art. 430a Sr as the place intended for public traffic obviously not is suitable for undressed recreation, an explanation that is too limited has given to this article.
In all cases, the Public Prosecution Service has now added a letter of appeal in cassation submitted to the Supreme Court."
12-09-2014: The National Ombudsman agrees with this site:
Bert van der Velden (fictitious name = Tjipke Tasma from nakedstrandje.nl) sent an email by e-mail Wob request to the Municipality of Delft. He was notified that his application was processed. Because he's nothing more heard, he inquired. In the end it turned out that a Wob request could not be submitted digitally. He had to do the Wob request by letter or fax.
Bert complains about the way the municipality has dealt with the Wob request that he submitted digitally.
Public authorities have the option to determine for themselves whether requests may be made digitally by e-mail or in another form submitted. But if someone sends an email, it's not good for the suggestionto induce that the Wob request is sent via the e-mail can be submitted and only much later to let them know this is not possible. The municipality should have had Bert of its own accord let them know that a Wob request cannot be sent by e-mail and cancel it must explain how he could submit the Wob request.
The complaint is founded because of violation of the requirement of good provision of information

27-06-2014: The Delft Blootloop case before the Court of Appeal in The Hague
When the appeal is heard, the Public Ministry (OM) not with new arguments to show that the (former) nudist beach in the Delftse Hout no longer suitable for nude recreation. A summary of the The indictment can be read on the website of the Public Prosecution Service. It is striking that the article concludes with the background of the case, without going into the actual background. The nudist beach has to be closed because of the sexual nuisance. Overzealous officers believe that some case reports of sexual offenses that have this year took place are also relevant to this case.
Lawyer Mr Gerard Spong comes with a strong plea (key points)
- The
letter of cancellation from the college to the city council
demonstrates the suitability of the former nudist beach. In
this letter contains a report of possible measures that
can be taken to prevent sexual nuisance on the current
counter location. These measures would not be
discussed if the nudist beach would be unsuitable anyway.
The letter does not contain a single word about the unsuitability of the nudist beach.
- The Public Prosecution Service and the Municipality of Delft abuse Article 430a
(nude recreation), for the sexual nuisance, which falls under
Article 239 (Indecent Indecency).
An article of law may not be used for any other purpose
than what it is intended for. In fact, the judge would
declare the whole case inadmissible. The Public Prosecution Service
tries to put the former nudist beach down like a
Sodom and Gomorrah.
From a letter, also with explanation about 430a, it appears that the municipality of Delft does not want to spend 30,000 euros on supervision, but that it is over the back of theverbalized nudists want to save this amount of money.
- There is no sudden confrontation with naked
people. The green strip has been used as a
Nudist beach; so every Delft citizen knows that there it is
nudist beach.
- The green belt has been used as a nudist beach for 30 years, the environment has not changed. After 30 years of tolerance you can no more fines.
Undoubtedly there will be an acquittal, but it remains to be seen whether the judge makes a clear decision about the suitability of the former nudist beach in the Delftse Hout for nude recreation.

Much more important is whether a nudist beach is suitable for nude recreation, because that's what the law is about. A nudist beach that has been functioning well for about 25 years, cannot go from one to the other become unfit another day, if nothing has changed. It only thing that has changed is that it has become less crowded before in the Delftse Hout and that the municipality of Delft would like to have a catering facilities.

24/28-02-2014: The Public Prosecution Service (OM) will also appeal.
Naaktstrandje.nl has the Public Prosecution Service for a press statement requested and received the following responses:
(Press officer/communication advisor OM The Hague):
24-02: It is true that the Public Prosecution Service is on appeal gone, it concerns six cases in which the judge has acquitted. The explanation of my colleague Nelda Boersma in the AD is correct and as far as I'm concerned you can take over for your website.
When asked why the Public Prosecution Service also appealed one conviction, I received this response:
28-02: Sorry I didn't answer you yet. The public prosecutor is on vacation abroad, but luckily she responded anyway. We were in six cases in appealed, but one of them has now been withdrawn because it turned out to be a conviction. The Public Prosecution Service is therefore against a total of 5 acquittals on appeal gone. The reason for this is that we do not agree are that the judge the Delft beach on quiet days (<150 people) are considered suitable for nude recreation.
When asked why the Public Prosecution Service in only 6 cases in higher appeal has been filed I have not yet received an answer.
03-03-2014 I received the following statement from the Public Prosecution Service:
For procedural economic reasons, the Public Prosecution Service has only had a decision in 6 cases, in which an acquittal followed, appeal filed. In addition, opted for various things as much as possible. The reason That is why the Public Prosecution Service is investigating the matter in full The Court wants to submit, but does not want to burden the Court unnecessarily. This does not mean that the Public Prosecution Service deviates from its position that -in all cases submitted to the subdistrict court- the beach in the Delftse Hout is not suitable for nude recreation.
In addition, the public prosecutor has chosen to to limit its appeal to those nude recreationists, who also themselves set apple. Some of these nude recreationists has received several official reports, in which one number of cases a conviction has been followed (of which itself appealed) and in other cases the sub-district court acquitted them (the Public Prosecution Service is appealing this). on in this way no nudists are unnecessarily in the further criminal proceedings involved.

This site is happy with the appeal because it nudist beach has proved sufficient over the past 30 years to be suitable for nude recreation. The municipality of Delft has never had in the formal abolition of the nudist beach stated that the nudist beach would be unsuitable for nude recreation. Only the sexual nuisance, which is not caused by the naturists was the reason.
28-1-2014: The judge's ruling: Delft beach unsuitable for nude recreation when very busy
The Hague, 28-1-2014
The subdistrict court in The Hague has ruled that the beach in Delft is unsuitable for nude recreation, if currently more than 150 dressed people, including children, present.
The people who recreated naked in the summer of 2013 while less than 150 dressed holidaymakers were present, acquitted. It was during the session today at thirty acquittals out of a total of forty-four charges committed violations. In addition, there are 2 void subpoenas and one person was fired from prosecution.
The rest still have to pay the fine of € 90 per violation Pay. This concerns nine people with a total of eleven fines.
Vision of nudestrandje.nl:
The core of art. 430aWvSr (the last part; the so-called b part of the article) is maintained; nude recreation remains possible if the terrain is suitable for it. sexual nuisance has not turned out to be a reason for a site to be declared unsuitable. The judge's decision will have a further limited impact on the other nudist beaches; most nudist beaches are secluded and not directly in sight of textile holidaymakers.
Despite the fact that many nudists have been acquitted, is it a disappointment for the naturists, who are (still) convinced of the suitability of the site for nudist recreation.
A plus point is that the "150 dressed people rule" perhaps also provides more opportunities for nude recreation textile beaches.
Because the nudist beach in the Delftse Hout on a large number of days of the year remains suitable for nude recreation will the listing on the site will be maintained.
The nudist beach is none designated by the municipality terrain, so there is always the chance of a fine even when there is little traffic. It is possible that the municipality will continue to fine nude recreation here want to continue discourage.
On request, nakedstrandje.nl has received the following response from the municipality of Delft:
Dear Mr Tasma,
The judge has ruled that nude recreation in the Delftse Wood is only appropriate if there are less than 150 dressed are visitors. The police can take enforcement action if visitors recreate naked at times when they don't is deemed appropriate according to the judge's ruling.

24-01-2014: Naturists do not get a fair trial, now that the Municipality of Delft withholds (internal) documents.
This site has been requested by the municipality of Delft, with an appeal on the Open Government Act (Wob), all internal e-mails to be made public by today.
The municipality did not heed this call, in fact, the municipality has not made a sound.
It is clear that the municipality has a lot of information about its own outrageous act. The congregation is hiding behind an article from the Wob, in which pieces with personal policy views should not be made public be made.
These documents are therefore with the Wob request dated 15 August not provided to nudestrandje.nl. Last Thursday nudestrandje.nl before the hearing committee to answer any questions answer and then also asked for these documents to provide. It is very unlikely that all of these emails contain such policy statements and that there no factual information.
It has now been established from a number of Wob procedures stand that:
- Delft Municipality
closed the nudist beach because she thought there was
there was enormous nuisance by sex recreationists.
From a
document from August 2011 shows that this
is not the case at all. Because there are
received virtually no questions or complaints about it
nudist beach states the municipality in a letter.
In the autumn of 2011 we hear the first sounds that the municipality wants to close the nudist beach.
- The municipality still lists the nudist beach on its website.
A very careless mistake.
- The municipality clearly indicates in the
city newspaper that nudist recreation is tolerated,
provided not aoffensive. No naturist is
fined for offensive behaviour.
And next Sunday SBS6 will spend at 22:30 pm Hart van Nederland pays attention to the issue.

Objections to nude recreationists declared inadmissible.
The decision of the municipality to close the nudist beach remains in force.
The municipality has left the citizen in the delusion for about 25 years
that the nudist beach in the Delftse Hout is an officially designated
nudist beach. from a
lawsuit
it turned out that due to changed legislation, this since the inclusion of art. 430a in the penal code no longer the
case.
Now the Municipality of Delft is shamelessly making use of this fact.
The decision to close the nudist beach is not a decision and
therefore no objection can be made to this. Acts well
the municipality as if nude recreation is prohibited on the alleged
nudist beach due to a zero-tolerance nudity policy.
For example, the Municipality of Delft is breaking the law and silencing its opponents.

August 2011 complains a
mother with children on the nudist beach in the Delftse Hout.
The College of Mayor and Aldermen will inform you in a letter (among other things):
Dear,
First of all, thank you for worrying through your discs as a mother
about the piece of nudist beach on the Delftse Hout in Delft. However
this nudist beach has been around for many years and are
few or no questions or complaints received.
The nudist beach is located near the parking lot
number 4 on the Tweemolentjeskade and has its own
toilet facility. Parking spaces 1 to 3 are at the height of the rest
part of the beach and here too there are separate toilet facilities. So it is
certainly not so that the holidaymakers and visitors to the nudist beach have to mix.
Furthermore, the part of the nudist beach is shielded with posts.
It states in text 'nude beach'. When checking
turned out to be missing two posts. These have now been installed again.
Your comment that the recreational users who go to the toilet can see the naked people is correct.
However, the holidaymakers can use the toilet block in the middle part of the beach.
This is so far from the nude section that one does not see naked people.
In response to your request, a text sign ("Nude stand") will be placed near parking spaces 3 and 4. posted.
I trust to have informed you sufficiently and hope that you will continue to use the
recreational facilities in the Delftse Hout in Delft.
Sincerely,
on behalf of the college of mayor and aldermen of Delft

08-08-2013: Foei Herman van der Helm is offensive again.
Despite the promise of the municipality in the
city ??newspaper that nude recreation remains tolerated in the Delftse Hout, the police simply hand out fines. Has the
municipality discovered a gold mine?
05-08-2013: The neighborhood police officers Vrijenban have the twitter
nudist beach account blocked. It is of course
annoying that you keep being reminded of the terrible
chores that you have to redecorate in the Delftse Hout, because the
mayor suffers from gymnophobia. Happy is the twitter
account of Sjimmie van het Strandje not (yet) blocked. So
we'll keep in touch. And otherwise you can always do it via
the hashtag #Delftsehout.
01-08-2013: Jihad fighter from Leeuwarden to Delft.
Delft is known as the stronghold of Jihad fighters who leave for Syria for the holy war, but now
it was the upside-down world. Henceg I went to the front in
de Delftse Hout for the Jihad against the nudity policy of the
mayor.
Although the nudist beach signs have been removed by the municipality,
was the nudist beach easy to find due to the clear map of
the Delftse Hout on the site of the municipality. The municipality of Delft has the official
nude beach may be lifted, but luckily it still gives
an area suitable for nude recreation.
Despite the voucher rain of the past few days, it became a
wonderful tropical beach day in the Delftse Hout.
The police kept their cool and did not show up.
Afraid of difficult questions about a ticket on the site of the
Township? Or tired of the whole soap opera? Or is it supervision money
on? Was it too hot to dress the nudes?
The trench warfare didn't make everyone streak-free
Delftsbuin. A number of frequent offenders avoided it
frontally exposed others were dressed in swimming trunks
which the mayor would not be out of place. Coincidentally, today was also the

During the consultation it became clear that the municipality is not succeeding in suppressing the resistance.
For strategic reasons, it remains the content of the consultation
secret, because the municipality is also reading along. Well a bit of one
unequal struggle, because we can calmly all documents
request it from the municipality on the basis of the Government Information (Public Access) Act.
Thank you for the hospitality and the pleasant day at the beach,
unfortunately no receipt, but an experience richer.

Holland Doc: Put your pants on now.
26-07-2013: The Municipality of Delft has a disappointing response:
Under the guise of a threatening security situation on and
around the nudist beach, the police of the municipality receives a
license to verbalize well-intentioned naturists.
Why not even take enforcement action against the sex recreationists?
They are causing the nuisance! The mayor has the
probably been too busy in recent years to do his previous
correcting an error of judgment...
Very strange that a place that has been suitable for about 25 years is now suddenly unsuitable.
11-07-2013 NFN in conversation with mayor Delft
Since July 5, the police regularly hand out fines at the nude stand in the Delftse Hout. Because this is for both nude recreationists and the municipality to very undesirable situations, NFN and mayor will speak soon about the situation that has arisen.
05-07-2013: Judgment in summary proceedings against closure
nudist beach.
The tiny nude beach signs need the municipality
Delft cannot be put back, because after now it turns out that the terrain
did not have the status of "a by the city council as
suitable for undressed public recreation designated place'.
The nudist beach remains suitable even without these plates
for nude recreation. Much now depends on the mayor
Verkerk van Delft, will he continue with the smear campaign against the
naturists? Or is he a respectable driver and does he let the
naturists in peace, until a replacement place is found?
With a beautiful sunny weekend ahead of us we will do it soon
know......
Thursday, July 4, 2013 is the summary proceedings that the NFN brings against the closure of the
nudist beach.
The verdict is not only crucial for this beach, but also for public nudity recreation in
The Netherlands. Does the court allow that in the case of sexual nuisance,
which is not caused by naturists, the nudist beach by
the municipality is closed?
Or the judge puts the police to work and the
responsible for the nuisance dealt with?
20-06-2013: NFN initiates summary proceedings against the closure of the nudist beach
13-06-2013:
the commonnteraad van Delft agrees to the formal closure
from the nudist beach in the Delftse Hout. The alderman will
together with the naturists looking for another suitable
location for a nudist beach. In half a year he will come with
a report to the council. Too bad it wasn't chosen
to keep the nudist beach open during the search of
the alderman. Now the outcome for this site is already clear; there
no replacement nudist beach is found.
The College of Mayor and Aldermen indicates again
to fail completely in maintaining around the small one
quiet beach. Again it has emerged that nude recreation
is not the problem in itself, but the sexual nuisance of
mainly male visitors.
The nudist beach therefore remains just as suitable for nude recreation as in the previous 30 years.
This will undoubtedly be continued.
14-05-2013: Hooray, the closure of the
nudist beach in the Delftse Hout is far from done,
as evidenced by the committee meeting of 14 May.
A number of political groups are absolutely in favor of keeping the
nudist beach and a number of other groups think that there is too
much uncertainty is created by the closure. The
Alderman indicates that only the official status
of the nudist beach has been lifted, but that nude recreation is just
remains possible in (entire) Delftse Hout on the basis of Article 430a of the Criminal Code. Alone
nuisance will result in a fine.
The NFN was also present at the committee meeting as a speaker.
In the council meeting of June 13, the closure will be further
treated. It is already clear that there will certainly be a motion in which
B&W is asked to keep the nudist beach open.
A few years ago, the neighboring municipality of Rijswijk, with list en
deception the
Fortunately, the city council of Delft thinks that naturists also have rights.
11-04-2013:
The mayor and aldermen of Delft have decided to close the nudist beach.
The
letter that B&W sent to the city council contains an argument about the
own inability to use on and around the small nudist beach
to take enforcement action
It is clear that the problems relate only to
sexual nuisance by visitors who use the
use nudist beach and the surrounding area as a gentlemen's hangout
(HOP). Furthermore, there has been consultation with some
interested party to look for a solution, but the municipality
is so little solution-oriented that presumably the
final decision had already been made; the nudist beach is closing.
From a legal point of view, the 1984 decree, whereby the
small beach was designated as suitable for nude recreation,
withdrawn. According to B&W, this makes nude recreation
punishable, but B&W does not know the law:
Article 430a (Criminal Code)
He who is outside a council approved by the city council as suitable for
unclothed public recreation designated place, unclothed
is located in or at a place intended for public traffic
who is not suitable for unclothed recreation will be punished
with a fine of the first category.
The site has been suitable for almost 30 years (in the eyes of the
Municipality of Delft) for nude recreation; removing the
tiny nude beach signs will be on the suitability for
nude recreation changes little.
Visitors who may be fined can report to the NFN.
May 14 will be the closure of the nudist beach Delftse Hout
dealt with in committee BLD
Also check out the website of
Herman van der Helm who is committed to preserving the nudist beach.
11-11-2012: On the
naturismeforum.nl there is a message that the municipality has this beach
may want to close. The NFN is aware and is with it
in process. Hopefully this nudist beach will not be lost.
