Disadvantage compensation

Injury compensation is compensation from the municipality to anyone who suffers damage that was not foreseeable due to an irrevocable planning measure. For example, an amendment to the environmental plan, or an environmental permit for an environmental plan activity may limit the possibilities of use of an immovable property. Or demonstrably reduce the value of an immovable property. If you believe you are adversely affected by planning measures, contact the municipality.

How does it work?

Disadvantage compensation can arise in 2 ways:

  • Your house or property has decreased in value because of the decision. This is called property depreciation.
  • Your company has less income because of the decision. We call this loss of income.

Compensation disadvantage

To qualify for relief for the harm caused, two things are important:

  • You could not have expected the damage when you bought the house or land.
  • You have not yet received relief in any other way.

You will receive compensation if it is unjust that you have to pay for the damage yourself or the damage is not insured.

A deductible of (at least) 2 percent applies:

  • depreciation of the property
  • loss of income

What should I do?

You are applying for planning compensation from the municipality. Indicate the following in your application:

  • why you are requesting relief
  • how much relief you want
  • by which spatial plan the damage occurred (e.g., the zoning plan)
  • a description of the damage
  • the loss amount
  • in case of damage to an immovable property: cadastral number
  • your bank account number

Note! You must apply for the compensation within 5 years after the damage-causing amendment to the environmental plan is final, or within 5 years after the damage-causing environmental permit for the environmental plan activity comes into effect.
