Placing (construction) object on the street

You want to temporarily place an object on the sidewalk or on the road. For example, a container, mobile toilet, billboard, building material, scaffolding or fence. You make a report or apply for a permit. You have to pay for that.

What do you need to know

  • Notification: if the object you want to place is less than 6m2 in total or less than 31 days
  • Permit: if the object you want to place is larger than 6m2 in total or has been standing for longer than 31 days
  • You can request 1 extension. You then resubmit the application. Then the same conditions apply
  • Processing applications takes between 5 working days and 4 weeks. This depends on how complicated your application is. Therefore, make the application on time
  • You place as much as possible on your own terrain
  • If you want to place a vehicle with a load that is longer than 6 meters or higher than 2,40 meters, you have a tpermission (exemption) required to park

  • If you want to place the object in a disabled parking space or parking space for permit holders

  • If you want to place the object on a playground, sandbox or playing field

  • If the object causes nuisance, waste or damage to nature
  • If you want to place the object in a public green space, unless you have special permission from the municipality

  • Indicate on the sketch:
    • where the object is

  • Submit all documents and data. Only then will we process your request

After your request
