Applying for a planning permit

Are you planning to build or demolish something in your garden or next to your home? For example, do you intend to build a garage or cut down a tree? If so, you will often need a planning permit (omgevingsvergunning). You can apply for this permit via the Omgevingsloket. In some cases you only need to notify the authorities, and no permit is required.

You need a planning permit for various activities in your garden or in and around your house, such as:

construction;
demolition;
building a driveway;
modifying, renovating or restoring a listed building;
cutting down trees.

Go to the Omgevingsloket (online environment portal) to check whether you require a planning permit (in Dutch) or if just a notification is sufficient.

Here is some information from your municipality.

All-in-one permit for physical aspects

With the Environment Act, the permits for building, housing, monuments, space, nature and environment are merged. This allows you to arrange several permits at once. There is one application and one procedure.

An environmental permit can be granted for several activities. This means that multiple activities can be granted in a single environmental permit. The Environment Act lists these activities. Examples are building, acting in violation of the zoning plan and felling.

Inseparability is dropped under the Environment Act (except for an environmentally harmful activity in combination with a water activity). This means that the applicant chooses the order. For example, the competent authority can no longer have the activity ''acting in violation of RO rules'' automatically added to the activity ''building''. As far as it is estimable for the competent authority, there is, however, an obligation to provide information about the necessary permits.

You can do a permit check through the Environment Counter website.
