Municipality of Coevorden: applying for a planning permit

You want to apply for a permit. You want to build something, renovate something, or you have another initiative. For example, consider felling trees or moving your driveway. You can first do a Quick Scan. And only then a formal application. You may also submit the formal application directly, without the Quick Scan. We explain to you what both choices mean for you. Not sure which option to choose? Then you can contact us via ambientcoach@coevorden.nl.

Aanvragen van een vergunning

You send your welfare application form with the environmental permit application

If you make changes to the outside of your structure and it is located in a publicly accessible area, you also request aesthetic advice. You can read more on the prosperity page. You request the well-being advice separately. You send the application form for the aesthetic advice with your Quick scan or formal application.

Please note: exceptions apply to this. You do not need to request aesthetic advice before building a temporary structure.

You request welfare

Advice You can request the well-being advice via Oversticht. At the top of the website you will find the form for prosperity and/or archaeology. You complete the form yourself. And send this along with your application.

The permit check shows which documents you need to enclose with the application. An architect or contractor can help you with this.

Check with a Quick Scan whether we approve your plan

You can do the Quick Scan before the formal application. But this is not mandatory. We certainly recommend that you first do the Quick Scan if your application requires a change to the zoning plan. The Quick Scan shows how likely it is that we will want to cooperate with your plan. It is best to complete the Quick Scan together with an expert.

The result of the Quick Scan is not a permit

The result is a decision in principle by the council. After the Quick Scan, you make another formal application.

This is how you apply for planning permission:

Go to the Omgevingsloket. Log in with DigiD (for yourself) of with eHerkenning (for a company).
Do the vergunningcheck.
See whether you need a permit.
You can apply for the permit immediately.

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 (short 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 omgevingsplan (zoning plan). The municipality can extend the period once for a period of 6 weeks.
