The implementation of the Environment and Planning Act (Omgevingswet) has been delayed until 1 January 2024. The Environment and Planning Act combines all laws and regulations for the physical living environment, including construction, environment, water, spatial planning and nature. This entails drastic changes for matters like the development and redevelopment of real estate, the exercise of industrial activities and the realisation of infrastructural projects, including those related to energy. To prepare you in the best possible way, we will be hosting a webinar series looking at the consequences of the Environment and Planning Act for several target groups and discussing some other specific topics related to the Act. There is also a webinar especially for English speakers. Our experts will share their knowledge and offer you practical tips.

The changing role of the Municipal Executive, Municipal Council, Provincial Executive and Provincial Council under the Environment and Planning Act – opportunities and limitations

With the arrival of the Environment and Planning Act and the introduction of the environment plan, municipalities will be given more room for regulating the physical living environment. Internal powers will also change, including at provincial level. This webinar will also pay attention to these changes and the potential new dynamics that may arise under the Environment and Planning Act from the municipalities’ perspective.
