Municipality of Doetinchem: applying for a planning permit

Do you want to know whether you need an omgevingsvergunning (planning permit)? You can do an online vergunningcheck (permit check) at the Omgevingsloket online (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 costs depend on which permit you apply for. You also need to pay when you do not receive the permit.

The term depends on the activitie you applied for. For a standard procedure the decision period is 8 weeks. This period may be extended once for an additional 6 weeks. For an extrende procedure the decision period is 26 weeks. This period may also be extended with 6 additional weeks.

The permit will be published on the official announcements(externe link) website. 

Do you want to lodge an opjection or appeal to the decission? The following applies:

  • For a standard all-in-one permit for physical aspects (8 weeks), you can file an objection within 6 weeks of the decision being published. How to do this is stated in the published decisions.
  • Does it concern an extended all-in-one permit for physical aspects (26 weeks)? Then it is issued a a draft decision. You can submit your opinion within 6 weeks. After that, a final decision will be made. You can appeal to the district court within 6 weeks. You can send your letter to: Postbus 9020, 7000 HA Doetinchem.

Good to know

You must not start work until you have obtained the permit. If you start before that, you may have to undo the work at your own expense.
