Applying for a permit for an activity on a Natura 2000 site

Do you want to carry out activities in or close to a Natura 2000 site? For example, building a house or cutting down trees. Some activities are harmful to nature because they disturb the habitat of plants or animals. You must therefore apply for a permit from the province where you plan to carry out the activities.

This is how it works for you

Your (future) place of residence falls under:

Province of Limburg

Here is some information from your province.

Requesting a permit for activities in a Natura 2000 area

It is forbidden to carry out activities that may have an impact on the quality of a Natura 2000 site without authorisation. The same therefore applies to the degradation, disruption or disturbance of the habitats of plant and animal species at the site. You apply for the permit with the province. Do you need an environmental permit for other elements such as environment, construction or conflicting use? You can then apply to the competent authority for site protection or species protection. In many cases this is the municipality. The municipality then requests a declaration of no objection (DNO) from the province to granting this element.
