Draft request
Would you like to carry out an initiative that does not fit within the environmental plan (formerly the zoning plan)? You can submit a preliminary request to determine whether this is still possible. A preliminary request is submitted before you apply for a permit.
Here's how it works
Some initiatives or plans do not comply with the current environmental plan. In some cases, the municipality may still be able to support the initiative. To explore this possibility, you must submit a draft request.
For example, a concept proposal may be submitted for the following initiatives:
- Building a New Home
- Building a B&B in violation of the Environmental Plan
- Attendance based on the attendance policy
- Starting a business in a location where it is not permitted
If you have submitted a draft request, you will not always be invited to City Hall to explain your plan. A draft request is also not a way to receive informal advice.
Submit
You must submit your plan online through the Omgevingsloket website.
What do I need to bring to the application?
When submitting a preliminary application, you must provide the following documents (if applicable to your plans):
- A description of the ownership situation.
- Photos of the current situation and the buildings next to it.
- A description of your plans. If the plan does not comply with the Environmental Plan, you must provide a justification for why this deviation should nevertheless be permitted.
- A sketch showing the current situation and the desired future situation, with corresponding dimensions (length, width, and height).
- A drawing in which changes have been marked.
- A list of the materials and colors you want to use.
If your application is incomplete, it cannot be processed. This will cause delays in processing your application.

How long does it take?
