veldlijnafstand

Vel dlijnafstand is a Dutch term that appears in the fields of surveying, land management and civil engineering. It denotes a specified distance relating to a straight reference line and a field boundary or layout feature. In practice, veldlijnafstand describes an offset or clearance that is used when laying out plots, fences, roads, or other infrastructure within or adjacent to a field. The term is not uniformly standardized and its precise meaning can vary by region, organization, or project.

Etymology and usage context: veld means field, while lijnafstand (line distance) refers to an offset from a line. Because Dutch terminology in surveying often evolves with local guidelines, veldlijnafstand may be documented as a required setback or alignment offset in planning documents, cadastral records, or construction specifications.

Measurement and calculation: the distance is typically given in meters and is measured perpendicular to the reference line. Surveys, diagrams and drawings will indicate the veldlijnafstand as part of the layout tolerances or setback requirements. In some contexts it may function as a guideline for ensuring consistent spacing between features along a straight line.

Examples: a veldlijnafstand might specify how far a field fence must be set back from a boundary line, or how far a new access road should run parallel to an existing field axis. Exact values and interpretation should follow local surveying standards or planning regulations.

Because the term is not universally standardized, practitioners are advised to consult regional guidelines to determine the precise meaning and application of veldlijnafstand in a given project.
