Omgevingswet

Rules about the space where people live, work and relax

The Omgevingswet applies to everyone 

The law applies to all residents, organizations and businesses. You will have to deal with it if you want to change something in your living environment. For example, if you want to remodel your house, organize an event, or if you are an entrepreneur and want to have a shed placed next to your business premises.
