How can I change a zoning plan or obtain a building permit for a piece of land?

Questioner

Dear Sir/Madam, A few years ago, my parents bought a piece of land of over 3,500 m2 from my grandparents. My grandparents sold part of their land including the residential permit 15-20 years ago. As a result, my parents' land now has a zoning plan that is partly agricultural and partly garden. My parents would like to eventually build a house on this land. Now I wonder whether and how it is possible to change this zoning plan or find another way to obtain a building permit for the land. I understand that you may not have the answers yourself, but I hope that you know where I should start. Especially now in the Corona period, making an appointment with the municipality is very difficult, and I myself would not know where to start. Yours sincerely.

The first thing you can do yourself is to check whether the zoning plan allows a change of function from agricultural to residential or from garden to residential. You can find this at ruimtelijkeplannen.nl . If you want extensive research and reporting thereof (also for example a test on the crumb regulation and case law) you can contact me.
