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.

Applying for a planning permit

Do you want to know whether you need an omgevingsvergunning (planning permit)? Or if you have to notify the authorities? You can do a vergunningcheck (permit check) at the Omgevingsloket (planning permit online service desk, in Dutch).

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.

  1. Go to the Omgevingsloket
  2. Do the ‘vergunningcheck’.
  3. See whether you need a permit.

You can apply immediately (online) for the permit. Log in with Digid (for yourself) or with e-Herkenning (business)

The costs depend on which permit you apply for. Even if you are not granted the permit you have to pay . For more information, see: www.weert.nl/legesverordening

The municipality will need 8 weeks (standard procedure) to assess your application. It will sometimes take 26 weeks (extended procedure). This will be the case, for example, if you want something different from what is stated in the Omgevingsplan (Environmental and land-use plan). The municipality can extend the period once for a period of 6 weeks.

You can view the list of permit applications and decisions on www.weert.nl/bekendmakingen.

Do you want to object? In this case, the following rules apply:

  • For a standard all-in-one permit for environmental and/or spatial  aspects (8 weeks), you can file an objection within 6 weeks of the decision being published. How to do this is stated in the published decisions.
  • Does it concern an extended all-in-one permit for environmental and/or spatial aspects (26 weeks)? Then it is issued as a draft decision. You can submit your opinion within 6 weeks. After that, a final decision will be made. You can appeal to the district court within 6 weeks.
