Environmental Service Desk and Triage Desk
Are you planning to build or renovate? The municipality’s Omgevingsloket will explain which laws and regulations apply. You’ll also receive guidance on how to submit an application. The Omgevingsloket does not evaluate the substance of your plan.
Would you like to have your plan reviewed? You can do so through the Triagetafel.
Heerlen environmental desk
If you want to build or renovate, you’ll often need an environmental permit. A lot of information is available online, but it’s not always easy for everyone to find. The Heerlen Environmental Permit Office is here to help. They’ll explain all the rules and how to submit a digital application.
Consultation hours are every Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Explore your idea at the Triage Table
Do you have a larger construction project in mind and would you like to explore your idea and have your plan reviewed in detail? Through the Triage Table, you can determine in advance whether your idea is viable. They will review your plan before you apply for a permit. You will then receive recommendations on possible next steps.
If the recommendation is positive and you submit your application to the Environmental Permit Office, we will include the cost of the Triage Table in the application. This will also speed up the processing of your permit application!
Applications for environmental permits
You submit the final application for an environmental permit through the national environmental permit portal. This is done online. For a step-by-step guide on construction, renovation, and demolition plans, visit the “Building and Renovating” page. And for all information about the application, visit the “Apply for an Environmental Permit” page.
