Environment, permit or notification

If your company's activities have an impact on the environment, you must apply for an environmental permit or file an Activities Decree notification with the municipality.

Permit or notification

You can use the Activities Decree Internet Module(AIM) to check whether you need a permit or a notification.

How does it work?

Your business has to deal with environmental regulations such as:

  • sound
  • energy
  • waste
  • air
  • soil use

The Activities Decree determines which notification you must make or which permit you must apply for. There are three types of businesses.

Type A: no notification and no permit

Your company's activities have little or no impact on the environment. You do not need to report or apply for a permit.

Type B: notification

Your company's activities have many consequences for the environment. You must file a notification of the Activities Decree with the municipality. You must do this for starting, modifying or expanding your business.

Type C: permit

Your company's activities have a large-scale impact on the environment. You need a permit.

What should I do?

Check through the AIM to see if you need to apply for a permit or make a notification.

Permit application

  • Consult with the municipality about your plans before applying for the permit.

  • You will receive notification from the municipality whether you will receive the permit.

Report

  • Make the notification at least 4 weeks before you start your activities.
