Municipality of Altena: applying for a planning permit

Do you want to know whether you need an omgevingsvergunning (planning permit)? Or if you have to notify the authorities? You can do a vergunningcheck (permit check) at the Omgevingsloket (planning permit online service desk, in Dutch).

This is how you apply for planning permission:

  1. Go to the Omgevingsloket online.
  2. Do the vergunningcheck.
  3. See whether you need a permit.
  4. You can apply for the permit immediately online or in writing. Use the Omgevingsloket for both options. Log in: 
    * for yourself: with DigiD 
    * for a company: with eHerkenning

The cost depends on which all-in-one permit for physical aspects you apply for. Note that you must pay even if your application is rejected.

The municipality will need 8 weeks (standard procedure) to assess your application. It will sometimes take 26 weeks (extended procedure). This will be the case, for example, if you want something different from what is stated in the bestemmingsplan (zoning plan). The municipality can extend the period once for a period of 6 weeks.

Is your application declined? And do you disagree? Then you can object. You can find more information here: www.gemeentealtena.nl/bezwaar

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.
