Amend environmental plan

Do you want to realize a (building) plan that does not fit within the environmental plan? Then contact us first. In consultation with you, we will examine whether the plan is feasible and, if so, whether an amendment to the environmental plan is the right tool to realize it. And if so, whether an amendment of the environmental plan is the right instrument to realize your plan. We can then give you specific information about the conditions, research costs and the course of the procedure. These may differ for each plan.

Preview of procedure to amend environmental plan

As under the (defunct) Spatial Planning Act, a draft plan is prepared during the preparatory phase. Under the Environment Act, however, we put more focus on the preparation of the plan, including the timely involvement of the environment. The formal procedure starts with the design phase, or the submission of the draft decision for public inspection. After publication, views can then be submitted for 6 weeks. This can be done by anyone. After assessing the received views, the decision phase follows. The municipal council adopts the amended environmental plan and publishes the decision. The decision can then be appealed for another 6 weeks.

Cost

Amending the environmental plan costs money (fees). See the Fee Ordinance of the Municipality of Gemert-Bakelexternal-link-icon. The amounts are adjusted every year.
