Municipality of Hellendoorn: applying for a planning permit

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 pay even if you do not get the permit.

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.

Do you disagree with the decision? If so, you can lodge a complaint. The following applies:

• For a standard permit (8 weeks), you must lodge a complaint within 6 weeks of the decision being made and published. 
• For an extended permit (26 weeks), the initial decision is a pending decision. You can submit your response within 6 weeks. After that a final decision will be issued. You can appeal to the rechtbank (district court) within 6 weeks.

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.
