Building and remodeling
If you want to build or rebuild, you often have to report this or need an environmental permit. For example, you may also need to modify your driveway, cut down trees, install solar panels or remove asbestos roofs. Check first whether a permit or notification is required and then make your application. Sometimes you only need to provide information about your plans.
Roadmap
Still to do: Prepare your plans
Check the rules and see if a permit, notification or information requirement is needed with the permit check. Can't find your way through the many rules? Then go to the consultation hour of the Heerlen environmental counter.
Still to do: Check your idea at the Intake Table
Submit your idea to the municipality through the Intake Table. This way you will know in advance if your idea is promising. Arrange this online at the Intake Table. After assessment, you will receive advice and the possible next steps.
Still to do: Apply or report
Is the advice positive? Report your plan or apply for your permit at the national Environment Desk. Send along the necessary documents. Read all about the application.
Still to do: Confirmation of application
When you make a notification or request, you will receive a message from the email address noreply@jeleefomgeving.nl. With that email, you can log in to jeleefomgeving.nl and easily track your request.
Still to do: The municipality monitors and reviews
Is your application complete and is everything correct? You will be notified in jeleefomgeving.nl if additional information is needed or if there is an update. If everything is in order, you will receive your permit.
Still to do: Start work
Soms moet u een kwaliteitsborger inhuren voor het bouwtoezicht. Als dat zo is, moet u minimaal 4 weken voor de start van de bouw een WKB-melding doen.
De dag dat u start met bouwen, moet u dit melden bij de gemeente.Still to do: Report finished
Report it to the municipality when the work is finished.
Away from the rules?
When you start your plans, you will find information about the laws and regulations in many places. And sometimes that's a lot and difficult. The Heerlen Environmental Counter will guide you.
Note: We do not do substantive reviews. The intake desk does those.

The consultation hour is every Thursday from 9 a.m. to noon and from 4 to 6 p.m.
