What is it?

A home business can be divided into two categories:

Service as a home-related profession

It involves the provision of services in a dwelling and/or associated outbuildings. The services are administrative, legal, medical, therapeutic, artistic, design or similar. No exemption from the zoning plan is required for this. However, the Requirements must be met.

Home body care profession

A body care profession (at home and/or in an associated outbuilding) such as a beautician, nail stylist, pedicurist or similar professions. This requires an exemption from the zoning plan.

Barbershops are not a body-care profession. They may establish themselves only if the zoning plan allows it.

  • The use must not adversely affect traffic or cause a parking problem.
  • The activity must be environmentally compatible with the residential environment.
  • the activity must be conducted by the resident.
