Go to the online service counter Omgevingsloket (in Dutch) to check if you need an environment and planning permit (omgevingsvergunning). In the Omgevingsloket you can see which rules apply in your municipality. You can then use the Omgevingsloket to apply online for an environment and planning permit or submit a notification.

Do the permit check in the Omgevingsloket to see which documents you have to submit.

  1. Go to Omgevingsloket online (the online environment service counter, in Dutch).
  2. Run a permit check to see if you need a permit or if you must submit a notification.
  3. If you need a permit, you can apply for it at once online on Omgevingsloket or send in a written application. Log in with DigiD (for individuals) or eHerkenning (for businesses).
  4. If you have to submit a notification, you can do so at once on Omgevingsloket. Log in with DigiD (for individeuals) or eHerkenning (for businesses).

The cost depends on which all-in-one permit for physical aspects you apply for. Note that you must pay even if your application is rejected.

The municipality needs 8 weeks (standard procedure) to assess your application. Sometimes this takes 26 weeks (extended procedure), for example if you want to do something that is not in the zoning plan. The municipality can extend the period once by 6 weeks.

If your application has been rejected, you can submit an objection to your municipality.

Has your application been approved? Then others have the right to object to the municipality’s decision. The municipality announces permit applications and decisions at: www.officielebekendmakingen.nl.

Good to know

You are not allowed to start the works before you have obtained the permit. If you start before that, you may have to undo the works at your own expense.
