Municipality Cranendonck: Working with the environment plan
Checking a zoning plan
Are you unable to find the zoning plan you are looking for on ruimtelijkeplannen.nl? The Omgevingswet came into effect on January 1, 2024. You can view the plan on the national website. At the top, click on ‘Rules on the map’, click again on ‘rules on the map’. Via the ‘Search document’ tab you can search by the plan name or plan number of the project.
Policy strategies and (draft) zoning plans
You can look at zoning plans that the municipality has not yet adopted here.
Expressing an opinion on a zoning plan
Information about how and where to express your opinion is provided when the draft zoning plan is published.
Damage caused by a zoning plan
A planning decision made by the municipality may cause you damage or financial loss. Examples include new zoning plans or decisions to issue an all-in-one permit for physical aspects (omgevingsvergunning) that grants an exemption from the zoning plan. You can claim compensation if you suffer damages. To claim compensation, you must wait until the municipality’s decision is final. It is final when it is no longer open to objection or appeal.
There are two important criteria to qualify for compensation for damage caused by planning decisions (vergoeding planschade):
- you could not have foreseen the damage when you bought the building or the land;
- you did not receive any other compensation, for instance for expropriation (onteigening)
Applying for compensation
You can claim compensation from the municipality. You must make sure to send in your claim within 5 years of the municipality’s final decision.
You pay a fee for this service. The current rate can be found on our website.
It will take at least 6 weeks to deal with your claim/application, but it can also take over 1 year.
