Municipality of Utrecht: 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. View the 2023 environmental permit fee.

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.
