Municipality of Arnhem: applying for a planning permit

Flash (fast) permit

In some cases, you can apply for a flash(fast) permit for smaller structures. With a flash permit, we try to decide on your application between 1 day and 2 weeks.

At the Omgevingsdienst Regio Arnhem (ODRA), you can find more information on which works are eligible for a flash permit and where to apply for it.

Draft request

If you want to find out first whether your building plan is feasible or how complete your documents are, you can have your building plan reviewed via a draft request (conceptverzoek). Do this before applying for an environmen and planning permit.
