There is further information available on the website of Kadaster (http://www.kadaster.nl) but they do request registration first. Data is available there in several scales starting from 1:5000 until 1:250,000.

The current data is outdated however, with part of the map data from 2013 (also in the prospective release in Nov). Therefore changed 'up-to-date' to 'no'.
