Municipality of Leiden: applying for a planning permit

You may find an overview of the costs of environmetal permits in this table (Title 2, Chapter 3).

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.

You may lodge an objection within 6 weeks after a permit has been granted. Proprties with monumantal status may not be demolished within those 6 weeks.
