The possibilities of the environment plan, with examples

The implementation of the Environment and Planning Act (Omgevingswet) has been delayed until 1 July 2023. The Environment and Planning Act combines all laws and regulations for the physical living environment, including construction, environment, water, spatial planning and nature. This entails drastic changes for matters like the development and redevelopment of real estate, the exercise of industrial activities and the realisation of infrastructural projects, including those related to energy. To prepare you in the best possible way, we will be hosting a webinar series looking at the consequences of the Environment and Planning Act for several target groups and discussing some other specific topics related to the Act. There is also a webinar especially for English speakers. Our experts will share their knowledge and offer you practical tips.

The possibilities of the environment plan, with examples

The environment plan must contain all the rules about the physical living environment at municipal level, like those of local bylaws. The environment plan is expected to include many more rules than the current zoning plan and will cover the entire municipality. At this webinar we will use examples to explore the various possibilities of the environment plan. We will also address the key role of open norms, as well as what can and what cannot (or can no longer) be regulated in the environment plan.
