Environmental permit contrary use
What is it?
The environmental plan states how the land in an area and the buildings on it may be used. If you want to use land or a building in a different way than stated in the environmental plan, you may still carry out your plan with an environmental permit contrary use.
Want to know if you need an environmental permit for nonconforming use?
Then do the Permit Check on the Omgevingsloket. There you can find all the rules together.
From this check you can easily submit the application. Use DigiD or eRecognition.
Apply for multiple environmental permits at once
If you need multiple environmental permits, such as to build or demolish, you do not need to apply for each permit separately.
What to do.
- View the area's environmental plan or other spatial plans via omgevingswet.overheid.nl.
- Check what the rules are for land and building use.
- If you want to use the land or buildings in a different way, use the Permit Check on the Omgevingsloket to check whether you need a permit.
- If you need a permit, apply for the permit through the same Environment Desk
What do I need?
To apply for an out-of-plan environmental planning activity (BOPA), you need the following:
- Your DigiD (individuals) or eHerkenning (business owners).
- Data and documents that show how you currently use the land or a building.
- A description of how you want to use the land or a building.
- A site plan and/or construction drawing of how it looks now and how it will look later.
- A description of the impact of your plan on the area.
- A description of how your plan conflicts with the municipality's environmental plan.
- Your motivation: why do you want to implement your plan?
- A report on the archaeological value of the site (if you have such a report).
What does it cost?
