Environment and planning permit: temporarily placing an object on a public road

Do you want to temporarily place an object on a public road, the sidewalk, or parking space? In most municipalities you will need an environment and planning permit (omgevingsvergunning). The rules for this are set out in the municipality's environment plan. It concerns for example:

• cranes
• scaffolding
• site huts
• portable toilets
• containers

You apply for an environment and planning permit via the online service counter Omgevingsloket (in Dutch).

Notification

In some cases making a notification to the municipality is sufficient. For instance if the placement is only for a short while, such as a moving lift.

Do the permit check

Visit the online service counter Omgevingsloket (in Dutch) to find out if you need an environment and planning permit. Or if you need to file a notification about your plans. Use the permit check (in Dutch) to find out which rules apply to your situation. You can also immediately apply for a permit or make a notification.
