Municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch: applying for a planning permit

Do you want to know whether you need an omgevingsvergunning (planning permit) or submit a notification? You can do an online vergunningcheck (permit check) at the Omgevingsloket online (service counter All-in-one permit for physical aspects). You need DigiD or Eherkenning. 

Advice

Before you submit an application for an environmental permit, you can, if you wish, receive written advice:

• We then check your draft application beforehand whether it complies with zoning plans and whether it has a chance of success.
• We check whether your plan fits within the zoning plan; we then test it against the aesthetics memorandum.
• If your plan does not fit within the zoning plan, we assess whether your application has a chance of success. If your plan is promising, we will ask you to conduct an environmental dialogue with us.

For questions and more information, please contact the Environment Desk (Omgevingsloket) of the municipality of 's-Hertogenbosch via telephone number +31 73) 615 57 77 or send an e-mail via the digital contact form.
