Province of Noord-Holland: applying for a noise permit for sports motorbikes
Do you want to organise an event involving racing motorcycles that produce a lot of noise? In that case, you must apply for an exemption. You can apply for an exemption from the provincial authorities.
The most important condition for an exemption is:
- The event with noisy racing motorcycles is held on a circuit or a cross track with an environmental permit.
You need to contact the provincial authorities. They will tell you exactly how to apply for an exemption.
If you have applied for a permit, in most cases the regular process applies. In this case you will receive the decision within 8 weeks from the date the Omgevingsdienst NHN received your application.
If you have applied for a permit, your application could go through one of two processes, as described below.
Regular process
- If you do not agree with our decision on your application, you can lodge an objection. You will need to do this within 6 weeks of the decision.
- If you disagree with the decision on your objection, you can lodge an appeal with the court within 6 weeks.
