Do you want to know whether you need an omgevingsvergunning (planning permit)? Or if you have to notify the authorities? You can do an online vergunningcheck (permit check) at the Omgevingsloket (planning permit online service desk, in Dutch).
You need a planning permit to make a driveway that connects to the public road.
You may need a planning permit if you are going to build, renovate, demolish. Or if you want to erect a yard /plot fence or cut down or uproot trees.
The permit check shows which documents you need to enclose with the application. An architect or contractor can help you with this.
This is how you apply for planning permission:
- Do the vergunningcheck.
- See whether you need a permit.
- You can apply for the permit immediately online or in writing. Use the Omgevingsloket for both options. Log in: * for yourself: with DigiD * for a company: with eHerkenning
Good to know
You may start work only once you have received the permit. If you start earlier, you may be required to undo the work at your own expense.
The costs depend on which permit you apply for. You pay even if you do not get the permit. The costs are listed on Nijmegen.nl (in Dutch).
The municipality will need 8 weeks (short 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 plan). The municipality can extend the period once for a period of 6 weeks.
