The Omgevingswet provides that the environmental plan contains general rules of the municipality for the physical environment. Under the Omgevingswet Act, each municipality will have one environmental plan.

Most initiatives by residents and businesses affect the living environment. Therefore, many initiatives require a permit. For example, for building or renovating a house. Through the Omgevingsloket, from January 1, 2024, initiators can get clarity on whether a permit is required and submit the application.

The moment the Omgevingswet takes effect, every municipality will be connected to the Digital System Omgevingswet (DSO). This is a digital counter for applying for permits, consulting the applicable rules per location, and where there will eventually be information about the quality of the physical environment.

Do you have an initiative that does not or only partially fit into the environmental plan? If so, it is important to contact the municipality in time. For all initiatives and construction projects, such as the development of a home, the construction of a commercial building or the transformation of real estate, the municipality uses a structured planning process. We call this the intake table for spatial initiatives.

Are you working on an initiative and need one or more permits? Then know that the municipality of Geldrop-Mierlo finds it important that the environment is involved well and on time. We call this participation, on this page we explain what is required.
