Province Noord-Brabant: Permit or exemption for provincial waterway structures

The conditions for an application include:

• You are a stakeholder, i.e. you want to erect a structure or perform an activity in, under or over a waterway.
• The waterway is managed by the provincial authorities.
• The structure to be constructed does not impede shipping and does not endanger the maintenance of the waterway (banks and flow).

This is how you apply for a permit:

• Go to the online Omgevingsloket (in Dutch). This is the service counter for environmental and planning permits.
• Do the permit check.
• You will be told whether you need to apply for an environmental permit. You can do this right away.
• Log in.

You can apply for a permit from the provincial authorities via the Omgevingsloket.

Costs (charges) may be associated with processing an application for an environmental permit. These fees are set annually by the provincial authorities.

The provincial authorities will make a decision on your permit within 8 weeks. If the provincial authorities deem it necessary, they can extend this period by a maximum of 6 weeks.

Do you disagree with our decision on the permit? You can object within 6 weeks of the decision of the provincial authorities. You do not agree with the outcome thereof? In that case, you can appeal through the courts. And appeal once more after that, if necessary.
