What to do.

Doing demolition notification

You do the demolition notification through the Omgevingsloket online. Use your DigiD. Companies do the notification with eHerkenning.

If you also need an environmental permit, you can also submit an application for this via Omgevingsloket online. You do this at the same time as the demolition notification.

Make the notification at least 4 weeks before you want to start. In the following cases, make the notification no later than 5 working days in advance:

• As a resident, you remove adherent asbestos up to a maximum of 35 m2 per plot.
• Your company performs repair or mutation maintenance work on a part of the building containing asbestos. This only applies if during those 4 weeks the building is unnecessarily unoccupied or interfering with its use.
• The landlord performs maintenance work.

After the demolition notification

• The municipality will send you an acknowledgement of receipt of the demolition notification.
• If your report is not complete, you will be notified and must file a new report.
• If your report is indeed complete, the municipality may set Requirements for the demolition work. You must comply with these Requirements .

Report start and end of work

• Before starting demolition work, notify the municipality. Do this at least 2 working days in advance.
• When you have finished the work, also report it to the municipality. Do this no later than the first working day after you have finished the work.

What do I need?

Information accompanying the demolition notification

• name and address owner of structure to be demolished
• name and address performer of work
• address, cadastral number and type of structure
• the dates and times you will demolish
• how you are going to demolish
• details of the waste and how you will dispose of it

Enclose reports with demolition notification

With the demolition notification, you may also need to include one or more reports. For example:

• (if you expect to release asbestos) an asbestos inventory report from a certified asbestos inventory company
• A demolition safety plan: for safety at the demolition site
• An acoustic survey report: to reduce noise pollution
• a report of a vibration study: to reduce nuisance from vibration

Note: You must always include an asbestos inventory report if it involves a building built before 1994.

How long does it take?

Once you have filed your demolition notification, you can begin demolition after 4 weeks. This is only allowed if you have not received notice that your notification is not in order.

If you filed a demolition notification for work that you were required to notify no later than 5 business days in advance, you can begin demolition after 5 business days. Unless you have been notified that your notification is not complete. Then you must submit a new notification. The deadline will then begin again.

If you have also applied for an environmental permit, the following applies:

• You will be notified within 8 weeks whether you will receive the permit. This period can be extended by 6 weeks.
• If the municipality does not decide within this period, you will automatically receive the permit. (by operation of law).
• For complex applications, you will be notified within 26 weeks. This period can be extended once by 6 weeks. You will not receive the permit automatically.
