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.

An all-in-one permit for physical aspects is a tailor's job; it is specifically geared to your situation. The costs are among others dependent on the nature of the activities you are requesting a permit for and construction costs.
If a permit is needed the municipality will take a decision within 8 weeks of your full application having arrived. This period can be extended once by 6 weeks. Are you applying for an elaborate procedure? The municipality will need 26 weeks to come to a decision.
If you object to our decision then you can do the following:
- For a standard all-in-one permit for physical aspects (8 weeks), you can file an objection within 6 weeks of the decision being published. How you can do this is stated in the published decisions.
- Does it concern an extended all-in-one permit for physical aspects (26 weeks)? Then it is issued a draft decision. You can submit your viewpoint within 6 weeks. After that, a final decision will be made. You can appeal to the district court within 6 weeks.
Good to know
You must not start work until you have obtained the permit. If you start before that, you may have to undo the work at your own expense.
