The environmental plan
The environment plan is a kind of instruction manual for your neighbourhood. This states what is and is not allowed on a particular piece of land. For example, if you want to build or renovate, cut down a tree or extend a terrace. The rules apply to both residents and businesses.
Rules on the Map
Via Rules on the map (opens in new tab) you will find the rules and policies of all governments together.
What you can look up
- What a location or building may be used for. For example, where people are allowed to live or where catering establishments are allowed.
- Which rules and policies are still being worked on. So that you know what will change in your environment in the future.
