Responding to plans from the municipality

You can respond to the plans that the municipality has for a specific area. This can be done via e-mail, in writing or verbally.

What do you need to know

  • The Hilversum Municipal Environmental Plan states how an area may be used, for example for housing, businesses or nature.
  • The municipality can change the environmental plan
  • An environmental plan has different phases:
    • Preliminary draft of the amendment
    • Draft of the change
    • Established
    • Valid (current)

Preliminary draft of the amendment

  • In principle, you can view a preliminary draft of a change for 6 weeks at the municipality's website (administrative information)
  • Anyone can respond in writing or orally during this period. Please email your response to gemeente@hilversum.nl Or you call 14 035In the case of a preliminary draft, the municipal executive board incorporates the public consultation responses into the draft amendment. The executive board then submits the draft amendment for public review. Comments on the preliminary draft are submitted to the executive board. The municipal council ultimately approves the amendment to the environmental plan. This will take place in a subsequent phase.
  • For plans that have little impact on the surrounding area, the municipality may decide to skip this step. This phase can also be skipped if extensive public participation has already taken place.

Draft of the change

  • You can view a draft of the change for 6 weeks the environmental counter (rules on the map) on the municipality's website
  • Anyone can respond in writing or orally during these 6 weeks. That's called submitting a statement. (see What to do)
  • If you submit a view, the municipality will inform you of the final decision. It also tells how your view has been used

Adopted amendment to the environmental plan
