Environmental Permit

What to do.

Consult with the municipality in advance about your plans. Then there will be no surprises. This is called a preliminary consultation. When making your plans, contact the municipality as early as possible.

• Check on Omgevingsloket online whether you need an environmental permit.
• If you need a permit, apply for it through Omgevingsloket online. Do this at least 8 weeks before you want to start the work. For an extensive application, do this at least 6 months in advance.
• With an extended application, the municipality first makes a draft decision on your application. This draft decision is not yet a final decision. Anyone can give their opinion on this draft decision within 6 weeks. This is called an opinion.
• If you disagree with the draft decision, state why in your view.
• You will automatically be notified whether you will receive the permit.

If you are applying for an environmental permit with a construction sum of €500,000 or more, you must also complete a Bibob Act form.

What do I need?

• If you are applying for an environmental permit for your home, you will need your DigiD.
• If you apply for an environmental permit for your business, you need eHerkenning.

Furthermore, what documents and data you need depends on your application. For example:

• a calculation or construction drawing
• floor plans of the building floors (1:100 scale)
• A site drawing (scale 1:1000 to 1:1500)
• A drawing of the facade elevations (scale 1:100)
• cross sections and longitudinal sections (scale 1:100)
• details about the appearance of the structure

Be sure to include drawings that show the current AND new situation.
