Municipality of Aalsmeer: applying for a planning permit

Do the permit check in the Omgevingsloket to see which documents you have to submit. An architect or contractor can help you with this.

1. Go to Omgevingsloket online (the online environment service counter, in Dutch).
2. Run a permit check to see if you need a permit or if you must submit a notification.
3. If you need a permit, you can apply for it at once online on Omgevingsloket or send in a written application. Log in with eHerkenning for businesses.
4. If you have to submit a notification, you can do so at once on Omgevingsloket. Log in with eHerkenning for businesses.

The costs depend on which environment permit you apply for. You also pay if you do not receive the permit. More information about rates can be found in the fees regulation on overheid.nl (Bijlage 1 / Hoofdstuk 2; Appendix 1, Chapter 2) (in Dutch).

The municipality has 8 weeks (short procedure) to assess your application. In some cases, the municipality will take up to 6 months (extended procedure) to assess your application. This may be the case if you want something different from what is stated in the environment plan (omgevingsplan). The municipality can extend the period once.

Is your application declined? And do you disagree? Then you can object. Contact your municipality to do so.

Has your application been approved? Then others can also object to this decision. 

The municipality announces permit applications and decisions via: www.officielebekendmakingen.nl (in Dutch). 

Good to know

You may start work only once you have received the permit. If you start earlier, you may be required to undo the work at your own expense.
