Step 2: Screening for completeness

The municipality will check whether the application is complete. If the application is not complete, you will get a letter with a request to provide the missing information.

Please note: If you do not respond in time, the application procedure will be stopped. You will then have to submit a new all-in-one building permit application.

Step 3: Evaluation of whether application complies with the rules

Neighbourhood residents and businesses can let the municipality know that they do not agree with the draft decision within 6 weeks. They can submit an objection (zienswijze). Instructions on how to do this are included in the public announcement (gemeentebericht). If a draft decision has been taken and you do not agree with it, you can appeal the decision in a court of law.

Step 5: Announcement of decision

The municipality will decide on the requested permit. You can find this decision on overuwbuurt.overheid.nl. You can also look at the decision at The Hague Information Centre.
