Municipality of Maastricht: 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 cost depends on which environmental permit you apply for. You will pay even if you do not get the permit.

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.

You can view the list of permit applications and decisions on Berichten over uw buurt - Zoeken | Overheid.nl

Do you disagree with the decision? Then you can object. The following applies:

For a standard environmental permit (8 weeks), you file an objection within 6 weeks of the publication of the decision. How to do so is listed in the published decisions.   
If it is an extensive environmental permit (26 weeks), it is a draft decision. You can submit a view within 6 weeks. After that, there will be a final decision. You can appeal to the court within 6 weeks.

Good to know
You cannot start until you have received the permit. If you start earlier, you may have to undo the work at your own expense.
