The Omgevingswet.
In the Netherlands, we have many rules governing our living environment.
As a result, good initiatives often struggle to get off the ground.
All these rules will soon be consolidated into a single new law: the Omgevingswet.
One law, a new Environment Service Desk, and clear procedures.
This is important for everyone.
Thanks to the Omgevingswet , you Omgevingswet quickly Omgevingswet which rules apply in your area.
Think of rules regarding noise, soil quality, building height
or safety requirements...
These rules are important for the quality of your environment.
Do you have an idea? Your application will be assessed against all applicable rules.
And within the rules, there is more room for initiatives. For example:
- work with your neighbors to generate your own energy
- Convert your garage into commercial space
- turn an empty plot of land into a playground
- Convert the old watermill into a canoe rental and café

For example, you can work with the government and developers
to contribute ideas on major construction projects.
