Province of Limburg: applying for an environmental permit for an entrance and exit driveway to a provincial road

The conditions include:

• your plot does not yet benefit from another safe exit;
• you are unable to construct an entrance from your plot to a road managed by the municipality or water board;
• your planned entrance does not link up with a road characterised by a lot of traffic and a high speed limit;
• your planned entrance is not too close to a bend or intersection;
• your planned entrance does not cause unsafe traffic situations.

Do you think your plan may not meet one or more of these conditions? If so, first schedule a preliminary consultation for the activity ‘activity in the restriction area relating to a provincial road’ via the DSO. This allows you to have your plan assessed in advance to determine whether it has a chance of success.

This is how you apply for a permit:

• go to the Omgevingsloket.
• do the permit check.
• You will be told whether you need to apply for a permit. You can do this right away.
• log in.

A fee is charged for processing an application. The costs are determined annually in the Fees Regulation.

The Province will make a decision on your permit application within 8 weeks. If the Province deems it necessary, it can extend this period by a maximum of 6 weeks.

Do you disagree with the granting or rejection of a permit? You can object within 6 weeks of the decision of the Province. Do you not agree after that? In that case, you can appeal through the courts. If necessary, you can then lodge a further appeal. If no one has responded within the 6-week appeal period, the permit becomes final.

If no one has responded within the 6-week appeal period, the permit becomes final.
