Discover Permit Requirements","description":"\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n I would like to build a canopy in my garden, the canopy is 2.3m high and is attached to the outbuilding. The total length is 7 metres. It is not on the property boundary. Am I then obliged to apply for a permit?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Dear questioner,\n\n For (re)building, an environmental permit for building is usually required (higher than 3 mtr). Sometimes you do not need an environmental permit. For example, for normal maintenance or placing a dormer window at the back of your home\n \nAll permit-free situations are listed in Appendix II of the Environmental Management Act (Bor). From which I quote you; (...) 'main building: building, or part thereof, that is necessary for the realization of the current or future destination of a plot and, if more buildings are present on the plot, is the most important in view of that destination'. End of quote\n\n Even if you are allowed to build without a permit, you must comply with the rules of the Building Decree 2012 (the building may not pose a danger to residents, users and the environment). You must also comply with the neighbour law from the Civil Code (nuisance, hindrance, etc.).\n\n Hopefully this information provides you with what you requested, if you require further information please do not hesitate to contact me directly.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55004962881885,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-59319-ik-wil-graag-een-overkapping-in-mijn-tuin-bouwen-de-overkapping-is-2-3m-hoog-en-zit-vast-aan-het-bi","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
