Environmental Services Desk and Triage Team
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 Triage Team.
Heerlen environmental desk
If you want to build or renovate, you’ll often need an environmental permit. The Heerlen Environmental Permit Office can help you with that. They’ll explain all the rules and how to submit a digital application.
Do you have any questions about submitting an application or exploring your idea? Or do you have any other questions? Send us an email or call to schedule an appointment. We’ll be happy to assist you personally.
Discuss your idea with the Triage Team
Do you have a larger construction project in mind and would you like to explore your idea and have your plan reviewed in detail? The Triage Team can help you determine in advance whether your idea has potential. 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 Triageteam’s fees in the application. This will also speed up 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.
