Municipality of Enschede: applying for a planning permit

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 with DigiD (for yourself) or with eHerkenning (for a company).

If you do not live in the Netherlands, you can log in with eIDAS. You can request an account via Omgevingsloket online (Dutch).

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 costs of applying for an environmental permit can be found in the fee regulation (legesverordening) (Dutch).

The municipality will need 8 weeks (standard procedure) to assess your application. It will sometimes take 26 weeks (extended procedure).

You can view the list of permit applications and decisions on the website of the municipality of Enschede.

Do you want to object? In this case, the following rules apply.
