Municipality Horst aan de Maas: Working with the environment plan

The environment plan (omgevingsplan) includes rules that apply to all activities that may affect the living environment. The environment plan defines what can be built or rebuilt on a specific location. And how the land and buildings can be used. The environment plan indicates, for example where houses, shops, businesses, or restaurants are allowed. And which land is meant for roads and green spaces. It also contains rules for noise, odours, and other activities that may harm the environment.

Checking the environment plan

You can find the environment plan via Rules on the map (Regels op de kaart, in Dutch) in the Omgevingsloket (in Dutch). Or contact the municipality.

Municipalities have until 2032 to include all regulations concerning the physical living environment in the environment plan. Is the environment plan not yet complete? Then you can also find the municipality’s zoning plans and local by-laws via Rules on the map.

Zoning plans adopted before January 1, 2010

Zoning plans adopted before January 1, 2010 are less accessible and in some cases cannot be found in the Omgevingsloket. You can view these plans via the municipality’s archive website (in Dutch).
