What is it?

Sometimes the municipality plans to make a decision or adopt a plan that you may not agree with. You can then express your opinion. This opinion is called an opinion. You can submit your opinion, for example, if the municipality intends to reject a decision you have requested or publishes its intention to adopt a new zoning plan.

You can only submit an opinion about draft decisions and draft plans on which no decision has yet been made. The municipality announces proposed plans or decisions via the website and/or door-to-door newspapers and/or a letter addressed to you.

At the views stage, the municipality can still adjust the decision. So the municipality may adopt your opinion in the final decision. But it doesn't have to. Several people may be affected by the plan or decision. This may involve opposing interests, but the municipality must also look at the general interest and then make a decision.

Oral transmission

Would you like to submit your views orally? Then make an appointment with the municipality. The municipality will make a record of your oral views.

How long does it take?

You will receive an acknowledgement of receipt of your written opinion. The municipality will send you a personal notice of the final decision. This will be done as soon as possible. It will be announced at the latest simultaneously with the publication of the decision against which an opinion has been submitted.

Objection and appeal

Do you disagree with the municipality's response to your views and the resulting final decision? Then, depending on the preparation procedure followed, you can object or appeal. The final decision will state within what period and to whom you can do this.
