Environmental Permit for Building Activities

If you plan to construct a new building, build an extension, renovate, or make other structural changes to a property, you likely need an environmental permit for building activities (omgevingsplanactiviteit bouwen). This permit is required for construction work that is not permit-free under the municipal environmental plan (omgevingsplan).

Use the Vergunningcheck on the Omgevingsloket to find out if your project needs a permit. The municipality checks that your building plans comply with the omgevingsplan and technical building regulations. Since the Omgevingswet, different types of building activities are distinguished, so the rules that apply depend on the nature and scale of your project.
