Municipality Hof van Twente: Applying for an environment and planning permit
You do not always need to apply for an environmental permit. Sometimes a notification is enough. You can do a permit check via the Omgevingsloket (Environment Desk). This check makes it clear whether you need a permit or whether you only need to make a notification or whether you do not need anything (permit-free).
Please note: If you want to start building, your building plan must in principle comply with the zoning plan. Via Ruimtelijke plannen (Spatial plans) you can find more information and all zoning plans in Hof van Twente. If you want to deviate from the zoning plan, you can submit a request in principle. Before you submit an application, we advise you to first consult with the municipality.
