Municipality Alblasserdam: Fire safety measures for a building
Buildings must meet fire safety regulations.
In some cases, you must notify the municipality that you are going to use the building; this is called a notification of fire safety-compliant use (gebruiksmelding brandveilig gebruik) .
You must apply for an all-in-one permit for physical aspects (omgevingsvergunning) for fire safety-compliant use.
You can find out if you need to make a notification by running the permit check on the online service counter Omgevingsloket online (in Dutch).
Applying or submitting a notification
- Run a permit check to see if you need a permit or if you must submit a notification.
- If you need a permit, you can apply for it at once online on the online service counter Omgevingsloket or send in a written application. Log in with DigiD (for individuals) or eHerkenning (for businesses).
- If you have to submit a notification, you can do so at once via the online service counter Omgevingsloket. Log in with DigiD (for individuals) or eHerkenning (for businesses).
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.
