If so, you can submit an official enforcement request. The local authority is obliged to make a decision on this.

If you disagree with this decision, you can lodge an objection.<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to submit an enforcement request regarding a building or a renovation? If so, please first check the <a href=\"https:\/\/omgevingswet.overheid.nl\/home\">Environment counter<\/a>\u00a0or whether the work was carried out in accordance with the regulations.
