The environmental law

You will have to deal with the Environmental Act if, for example, you want to renovate your house, cut down a tree or start a business or community center somewhere.

If you want to change something in your home, garden, company or environment, go to the Environment Desk.

In Hilversum we work with 3 different processes for researching a spatial idea and (subsequently) applying for an environmental permit. On this page we explain how it works.

Every piece of land and building has an environmental plan. These can be viewed online. You can respond to a draft environmental plan.

Do you have plans to build a home, business premises or shop? Then you have been responsible for checking the quality of the construction since January 1, 2024.
