The environmental vision and your building plans

This is an old post.

On September 30, we adopted our environmental vision. This vision is one of the tools of the Omgevingswet , which will take effect in the Netherlands on July 1, 2022. Because of this law a lot will change. For example, it combines many existing laws for building, environment, water, spatial planning and nature.

Our environmental vision creates a single Nuenen policy when it comes to our physical environment and how we can improve its quality. The vision includes spatial planning, the design of public areas and the environment. Attention is also paid to the national themes of sustainability, energy transition, climate adaptation and health. The vision will be further elaborated in programs, regulations and an environmental plan.

Wonderful all around. But when will you have to deal with it? Well, when you want to convert your garage into business space. Or turn a vacant lot into a playing field. The environmental vision creates the framework for these kinds of initiatives. And the Omgevingswet will soon provide a simpler procedure: one law, one office, one procedure. So we can work together to improve the living environment in Nuenen.
