You can request compensation in the following cases:

• You have applied for an earth removal permit.
• You are the holder of a permit.
• You have submitted your objections to an earth removal permit.
• You have suffered damage as a result of an earth removal permit. This applies both for damage you have suffered in the past and for damage you will suffer in the future as a result of an earth removal permit.
• It is not reasonable for you to have to suffer the damage, either in whole or in part.
• The damage is not covered, or is insufficiently covered, by other means.

This is how you request compensation:

• Do the permit check.
• Log in.
• You can submit your request by completing the e-form.
• If necessary, add attachments to your application.

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

You can object to the decision on your application within 6 weeks. Do you disagree with the decision? In that case, you can appeal through the courts within 6 weeks.
