Small plans

Small plans have little effect on the surrounding area. Still, it can be helpful to inform local residents about your plan. That way you can answer questions and address any concerns that may arise. For example, think about construction nuisance and privacy. Neighbors can also give tips on how to improve the plan.

Examples of small plans

  • Installing a dormer window
  • Building an addition or shed
  • Cutting down a tree
  • Starting a barbershop at home
  • Construction of a canopy or carport

Form of participation

  • Personal interview
  • Mail or letter
  • Group app

Roadmap

The following is a roadmap for participation in small plans.

1. Define your environment

Who should I talk to about my plan? With a small plan, this could include your neighbors or street residents who have a view of the plan.

2. How do you engage with the environment?

You can visit in person and inform your neighbors about the plan. It is also possible to send an email or letter or create a group app. Above all, try to inform those involved and take stock of whether there are any particular concerns.

3. Adapting the plan or not?

Your neighbors may have provided tips to improve the plan. The initiator makes the choice to modify his or her plan.

4. Submitting the application.

You indicate whether or not you have had a conversation with the environment. If you did, indicate what the conversation with the environment yielded.

5. Township assessment.

The plan is reviewed against the rules that apply within the municipality. In addition, the municipality considers whether you have informed your neighbors or street residents about the plan.
