Municipality Lisse: Working with the environment plan
(Draft) zoning plans
You can look at zoning plans that the municipality has not yet adopted here: www.ruimtelijkeplannen.nl.
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 request compensation for damages by filling out the application form for zoning plan damage: Gemeente Lisse: Planschade
It will take at least 6 weeks to deal with your claim/application, but it can also take over 1 year.
