You do not always need to apply for an environmental permit. Sometimes a notification is enough. You can do a permit check via the Omgevingsloket (Environment Desk). This check makes it clear whether you need a permit or whether you only need to make a notification or whether you do not need anything (permit-free).

Please note: If you want to start building, your building plan must in principle comply with the zoning plan. Via Ruimtelijke plannen (Spatial plans) you can find more information and all zoning plans in Hof van Twente. If you want to deviate from the zoning plan, you can submit a request in principle. Before you submit an application, we advise you to first consult with the municipality.

This is different for every request, but the following list is required for every application:

  • the name, address and place of residence of the applicant, as well as the electronic address of the applicant, if the application is submitted using an electronic form;
  • the address, the cadastral designation or the location of the project;
  • a description of the nature and scope of the project;
  • if the application is submitted by an authorized representative: his name, address and place of residence, as well as the electronic address of the authorized representative, if the application is submitted using an electronic form;
  • if the project is carried out by someone other than the applicant: his name, address and place of residence.
  • The applicant provides the application with an indication of the location of the requested activity or activities. This indication is made with the aid of a situation drawing, map, photographs or other suitable means.
  • The applicant shall include a statement of the costs of the work to be performed with the application.
  1. Go to Omgevingsloket online (Environment Desk).
  2. Do the vergunningcheck (permit check). You can see whether you need a permit or whether you need to make a notification.
  3. If you need a permit, you can apply for it immediately online in the Omgevingsloket (Environment Desk) or in writing. Log in with DigiD (for yourself), log in with eHerkenning for a company.
  4. You can apply for the permit immediately online or in writing. Use the Omgevingsloket for both options. Log in: * for yourself: with DigiD * for a company: with eHerkenning

The costs depend on which environmental permit you are applying for. Even if you don’t get the permit, there will be costs. For the current costs, see the fee regulation of 2022.

The municipality needs 8 weeks (standard procedure) to assess your application. In some cases it can take 26 weeks (extended procedure), for example if you want to deviate from the zoning plan. The municipality may extend the period once by 6 weeks.

You can view the list of permit applications and decisions on https://www.officielebekendmakingen.nl/. These can also be found in the Hofweekblad.

Do you want to object?

In this case, the following rules apply:

  • For a standard all-in-one permit for physical aspects (8 weeks), you can file an objection within 6 weeks of the decision being published. How to do this is stated in the published decisions.
  • Does it concern an extended all-in-one permit for physical aspects (26 weeks)? Then it is issued a a draft decision. You can submit your opinion within 6 weeks. After that, a final decision will be made. You can appeal to the district court within 6 weeks. You can send your letter to: info@hofvantwente.nl or to the Municipality of Hof van Twente PO Box 54, 7470AB Goor.

Good to know

You must not start work until you have obtained the permit. If you start before that, you may have to undo the work at your own expense.
