Municipality Alphen-Chaam: Environment and planning permit for environmentally harmful activities
Permits for building, housing, monuments, space, nature and environment have been merged into the environmental permit. This allows you to arrange several permits at once. There is now only one application and one procedure. The single permit replaces, among others, the building permit, demolition permit, environmental permit and felling permit.
Check if you need an environment and planning permit and apply
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.
The fee you have to pay depends on the type of permit you apply for. Please note that you also have to pay the fee if your application is rejected.
The municipality has 8 weeks (short procedure) to assess your application. In some cases, the municipality will take up to 6 months (extended procedure) to assess your application. This may be the case if you want something different from what is stated in the environment plan (omgevingsplan). The municipality can extend the period once by a period of 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.
