An access point, also known as an exit, entrance or driveway, is a connection from a plot of land to a public road. A planning permission is often required to create, move or alter an exit.
Building or altering a driveway
In most cases, a environmental permit required for an exit. This applies, in any case, to existing situations where you wish to create a new exit or alter an existing one. You can find the rules that apply at your location via the rules on the map and via the Permit check via the Omgevingsloket find out which permits are required in your situation. All the basic principles are set out in the Policy Rule on Alternatives 2023.
The Province of Gelderland is responsible for processing applications for access roads on provincial roads. The 2023 Policy Rule on Access Roads and our fees regulation do not apply in this case. You must, however, apply for the permit via the National Environmental Services Centre.
In situations where the local authority is carrying out project-based (re)design and (re)construction of public spaces, such as in new housing estates or street regeneration projects, no planning permission is required. However, the established Policy Rule on Weighing Options 2023 These principles apply. We recommend that you take this into account when planning your garden design and that you contact us to make further arrangements regarding the construction of the access route.
